CalDigit Connect 10G - Thunderbolt 3 to 10Gb Ethernet Adapter for Mac and PC

I have read the reviews of previous people and seen that they have problems of this product dropping connection I did find this myself, but changed the power setting to not save power on my NIC card within my PC and it works perfectly. I have added a Virtual Switch to the NAS and have it run through the NAS as a direct connection and connect to the internet from within the NAS it self and this works perfectly. I am very please with my purchase.

Bought this to try with a PC but didn’t work, but not a lost, connected it to my 2017 iMac and working well.

Worked great for a total of 20 minutes, even managed to transfer files to my NAS at 6Gbps, however it then became intermittent and the Thunderbolt software on my server stopped picking it up altogether.

I was avoiding Caldigit products for many years due to a poor customer service experience i'd had with their Thunderbolt Dock. However, after trying the Qnap SPF+ adapter which overheated and drop connections, I reluctantly tried the Caldigit Connect 10g. Its large heat sink keeps temps in check and its connection is stable. Im not 100% sure that it has the fastest throughput, but its sufficient for my data transfer needs.

This is brilliant for my laptop. 10Gbe via thunderbolt on Windows 10. No issues with connection, it's solid. It runs warm but nothing unacceptable. And, of course, that sweeeet speeeed.
