Easy to install and has worked perfectly
Style: USB-A Color: Black
The built in Ethernet adapter on my almost 10-year old Lenovo ThinkPad W700 get fried by lightning a couple years ago. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi adapter was not damaged, so I still had Internet and network connectivity, but at Wi-Fi speeds. That was not at problem until the W700 was replaced about 18 months ago by a Lenovo ThinkPad P71 and the Lenovo W700 was moved upstairs. Our house has a metal roof and the Wi-Fi throughput is significantly degraded in that area of our house. Not a big problem for Internet usage but moving large files, doing backups, or syncing files between the two-system using our LAN became painfully slow. So much so that I started using the old 'sneaker net' approach and began moving files and data back and forth with thumb drives. My W700 is from the days before USB 3.0 and only has native USB 2.0 ports. USB 2.0 thumb drives is certainly faster than weak Wi-Fi but still relatively slow, and always cumbersome. The first thing I did was obtain a StarTech USB 3.0 ExpressCard. The USB 3.0 ExpressCard has worked perfectly. Having one USB 3.0 port means I can use USB 3.0 Thumb drives. USB 3.0 connectivity at both ends of the LAN made moving larger amounts of data faster but I still had the hassle of physically carrying thumb drives back and forth, and up and down stairs, between the two Lenovo systems. I tried a USB 2.0 ethernet adapter, but speeds were about the same as Wi-Fi. Then I tried the StarTech USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter plugged into the StarTech USB 3.0 ExpressCard. I had no idea if this would work and crossed my fingers as I rebooted Windows 10. And work it did, and very well I might add. Now I can once again move large blocks of data such as 200 or 300 15mb-18mb photo files between my two Lenovo laptops in a minute or less. And one of my backup strategies of syncing files between the two systems is now much quicker. ... show more

Reliable + Plug and Play

Review Image by Stab.jd Stab.jd
The adapter is a great hack for devices, even PCs, when there is no physical ethernet port available. I do not use WIFI in my home, so this is vital to my hardwired network for connectivity. I use it daily and have NOT had any issues with the plug and play ability: Works great on my Amazon fires, Android phone, and a 10 year old Macbook Pro. Definitely worth the money. ... show more

Works well on Mac Lion mid 2012 MacbookAir
Style: USB-A Color: Black
Bought a 2012 MacbookAir this year. I do have the thunderbolt gigE adapter but I am using the port for the miniport display for the 24" cinema display (Yeah I am one of those mac heads, wanna fight about it? Just joking). Seriously though the adapter I needed since I can't use the thunderbolt port, and there are no thunderbolt hubs out yet. The Air is wireless as everyone knows, which is a pain. Been waiting for this adapter for quite awhile I even wrote to the guys at ASIX asking for one they told me to wait. The short of it this works well with mac but you need the driver for it. The driver included on the CD in the package is old so you might as well check for the latest from ASIX at [...] Mac is sometimes painful so I'm happy this is working well. One thing to note however. I ran a few iperf tests. Incoming connections are getting about 110MB <- megabytes/s where outbound is getting on average of 95MB. The other computers I am testing to are mac and linux both are slower machines. Is it possible the RAM buffer is just that much faster on the Air? Running the adapter on 10.7.4 haven't tried 10.8. ------> Update 8-3-14 <------ Still running great here. I have updated the driver at least once during my operation and it's been running flawlessly. I am still running this on a 2012 MacAir. I have recently purchased a second unit for LACP. I will update this review after I get it installed/setup and tested. ------> Update 8-8-14 <------ This works great with the MacAir and LACP. I have it hooked into a Netgear switch that supports LACP and into a Synology diskstation. Getting great results, pretty close to reading from a local SATA drive. I love this stuff. Can't wait for when 10 Gig comes down in price. ... show more

Great Performance/BEST Value
Style: USB-A Color: Black
Like premiere LG (Lucky Goldstar) products in 1986, I DON'T laugh at the StarTech dot com name! This unit ran AT 1gbs out of the box on an eight year old, but upgraded Dell laptop! Oh, I've been a StarTech fan for YEARS now, AND they're making enterprise gear now! I almost want to unretire! LOL! :) It ran right out of the box, no drivers needed, then updated itself in 30 seconds. The laptop achieved >80mbps UPLINK speed in testing, that will work with a webcam. AND a two year warranty right out of the box. I have two more pieces on my wishlist list, but it's actually a next to buy list. Yes. You want it. :) ... show more
