Sonnet Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 to 10Gb Base-T Ethernet Adapter SOLO10G-TB3

Using this to my 10GB upgraded Synolody disk for direct access on my macbook pro. This has literally and instantly reduced a 4GB file transfer from 20 min to 3 seconds in a heart beat. Amazing piece of equipment and for those out there who have a NAS Diskstation and would like to enjoy a fast local access... go for it.The only point I would like to add is that it does warm a bit but I would have to leave it on for sometime to be able to provide an accurate feedback regarding this.

great item once you get it running! make sure to get the latest drivers (aquantia_aqtion_x64_win_ver2.1.004.0) from the sonnet support page, even if you have win10 running! you wont get it working without.

A totally reliable 10GbE adaptor. Mine links a Mac mini to my 10GbE switch - the Mac is my main server so this device runs 24/7 and has done so with zero downtime. It has run with zero intervention through Mac updates and various network topology changes.A star is lost as the unit runs rather toasty. Mine lives in an enclosed network rack and is attached to a metal panel via an adhesive magnetic strip attached to the adaptor's base, which also wicks away some of the heat. Given the usage it must have been built with these temps in mind.

This works flawlessly with my 2018 MacBook Pro, but keep it well ventilated because it does get hot.

This is the 2nd 10gbe add on I have bought. First one was a QNAP one (returned), that got returned because the fan was just too loud. Then this one I got working. Tested it out using a small single 2gb file, that was fast. I thought great, this is going to work. But sadly, when I try to do anything more, it just falls over - transferring 2GB worth of small files (10s of thousands), or running Time Machine with 18gb of data to backup to a NAS (connected to a 10gbe switch and two NICs). Looks like this one is going back too. Lesson learnt, next time configure the MacMini with 10gbe from factory.

It really does provide the claimed speeds, just not always. It's also passively cooled, which is great for silent use but it runs REALLY hot. You could probably use it as a cup warmer for your coffee.The TB3 connector is really sensitive - you can lightly brush against it when unplugging an adjacent cable and it drops the connection - at first I thought it might be the TB3 port on the motherboard, but I've tested it with other devices and cables and it works fine, even with a bit of (relatively) rough handling.It's bloody infuriating - I'm considering returning it.

Much like one of the other reviews (from Batfoy), the Thunderbolt connector is loose and just a slight movement of the unit is enough for the Thunderbolt connection to be lost. And the length of the Thunderbolt cable, which is around 6 inches or 15 cm, doesn't help with positioning the unit to provide the least stress on the connector to avoid the disconnections. When it works, it does seem to be at 10 Gb/s speed but the constant disconnections hasn't let me properly test the unit. Very poor for such an expensive purchase. Would not recommend. Avoid.Update: I purchased a Belkin 0.8m cable to replace the one attached to the unit. I removed the endplate to do so. The new cable is thicker than the old cable so the cable hole on the endplate will need to be enlarged if you want to reattach it; for the time being I'm not reattaching the endplate. But the new setup is working perfectly now with no disconnections.

I got this to hook my laptop up to my 10G file sharing network. It works fine, fast and stable. It does get pretty hot though, especially under load (duh). Might need a fan blowing on it if you plan on pushing big transfers through it constantly.Recommended.

It is impossible to install drivers that are not digitally signed under Win10, a terrible problem

In fase di configurazione del nuovo Mac ho, stupidamente, ignorato la scheda Ethernet da 10 Gb/s, non comprendendone l’utilità e non intendendo affiancarci un NAS, dando per scontato che avrei continuato a lavorare su porte Thunderbolt e USB.Ma nel tempo le necessità sono cambiate e ho avuto bisogno di un NAS veloce, quindi la scheda Thunderbolt-10 GbE era un acquisto obbligato.Avendo già avuto periferiche di questo marchio nel corso degli anni, ho pensato di andare sul sicuro e non ne sono rimasto deluso.Unica pecca, comune a tutti i dispositivi di questo genere, è che scalda parecchio, quindi posizionatelo in un luogo sufficientemente aperto per garantirne la dissipazione del valore in modo efficace.Un piccolo punto che si potrebbe migliorare è la lunghezza del cavo Thunderbolt, un po’ esigua e non ne permette il posizionamento in un posto più discreto.A parte questo, l’accessorio è promosso a pieni voti.Sulla logistica Amazon non mi esprimo perché non serve: top come sempre!Un particolare complimento (consapevole del fatto che non gli arriverà mai) è rivolto al corriere che serve la mia zona, sempre estremamente gentile, discreto e disponibile, che lavora sempre col sorriso e una buona parola per tutti, nonostante abbia tonnellate di merce da recapitare e mille richieste assurde da parte dei destinatari!

Compre com o que o fabricante promete, velocidade até 10gbs e a ligação super estável.

Simple à installer, il suffit de la brancher sur un mac équipé de thunderbolt 3 et il fonctionne tout de suite.J'arrive à atteindre un débit de 1Go/s sur un réseau local cablé en cat.6 et de faibles distances (< 30m).Il chauffe vraiment beaucoup (dissipation thermique passive) mais ne fait aucun bruit.Reçu rapidement et en bon état, très satisfait de cet achat
