Quality


Good is i was able to straighten the connector out enough to be able to plug it into the usb port, and it worked immediately.


I went into the advanced properties and enabled jumbo frames of 9014 bytes to improve performance.


So let's go ahead and get the bad out of the way first, the usb connector came in very bent and unable to be plugged in.


Plugging it in gets detected in dmesg, but the realtek 'r8152' driver that ships with this older kernel doesn't support this newer chip.

Price


Fantastic deal for the price and would also work very well to upgrade the speed of older machines with 100 mb or 1 gb nic's.


5 gbps rates to see any benefit over a 1 gbps adapter.

Competitiveness


The speed is great, it’s well-made, and price is better than similar adapters.


5gb speeds unlike 3 others i tried.


Native 1gbe was faster and even better i finally got 2gbs port aggregation working on the nas.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’ve been using my mac mini as a backup target for my file server and it would routinely swamp the 1gbit network connection which meant the backup took longer than necessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The file server has dual 10gbit rj45 nics so my initial plan was to plug this into the mini and connect it directly to the second nic on the file server giving each a static ip on a different subnet than the rest of my lan


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately the 10gbit nics don’t support 2


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So my only word of caution is make sure whatever you’re plugging this into on the network side supports 2


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If your switch doesn’t specify support it’s unlikely to have it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At first this worked but very slow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So do not depend on the onboard driver but download the updated drivers for your os


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some lenovo docks have an irritating bug with the built in ethernet connection that results in basically a broadcast storm and takes down all devices connected to that switch
