Price


This is an inexpensive option which allows for easily increasing the speed of your network connection.


5gbe ethernet adapter at a great price.


This adapter was $27 when i ordered it.


- good price for a high quality product- trusted brandcons:- could be a little cheaper, but i still think worth it at msrp

Shipping


Once i uninstalled it, i got the expected both download and upload speeds with speedtest.

Packaging/appearance


5g, nice sturdy package, no config, just plug it in and it works great


However, i was pleased to see it was recognized out of the box with the latest proxmox (debian) kernel and was hot pluggable.

Competitiveness


I trust sabrent as a brand, so when looking for a faster network connection for my portable devices, this was a no brainer.


Connections are negotiated at 705 mb/s, for instance, and actual throughput is inconsistent, fluctiating dramatically over time.


You may have better luck if you go hunt down the latest rtl8157 drivers.


Performance was as good as other 2.
