Simple perfection.
Pros: Once you set it up, you can forget about it. Does what it's supposed to seamlessly.
Cons: I would have put the link LED's on the other side.
Overall Review: Worth every penny. My small network was based off a wireless router that just couldn't cut it bandwidth wise being an older 10/100 product. 10 was more like it between hard wired computers. This cured THAT problem big time. Large file transfers are now in the 100 to 160 MBPS range. Previously 16MB at best.
Great idea...but...
Pros: Works to move pictures and play movies from USB thumb drives on my i-Pad...for a while.
Cons: First one lasted 9 months. Second one 24 days.
Overall Review: Like so many other imported adapters, a pig in a poke. You may get one to last just about $34.00 worth, Then again, maybe not.
8 months into ownership
Pros: This adapter flat works! I have my iPad on a desk stand, this plugged in, and have had it plugged into both the network router and a USB 3.0 port using the lightning to USB charger cord on the adjacent desktop to keep the battery topped off when at home. Mobile, I just unplug it and go. I have had it working under iPad OS 10, 11, 12, 13, and now 14
Cons: Occasionally (usually after software upgrades) I have to unplug and replug it in to let iOS find it again and set it up automatically.
Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend this device
Plug & Play, works very well.
Pros: Adds flexibility to the i-Pad, the most important to me is the ability to adapt to a wired network. The included lightning port ensures the Pad stays charged while operating, either by power adapter of a computer USB 2/3 port. The USB port, through a cable not provided is to adapt to a camera...or maybe other devices. Still playing with that one.
Cons: My network is behind a lot of protections and a router. Sometimes it takes a bit of fiddling by the on and off method to get the Pad to find a 192.168.0.X internal address rather than an independent 169.X.X.X address which would be fine if it wasn't in the private network. Not really a problem. Settings can always be locked down manually. The connector may take a bit of fiddling and port combination choices may be limited to two at a time. Still working with it. Lightning charging plus USB and lightning charging plus RJ-45 works well so far.
Overall Review: If you need what this does, yes I recommend it. It has more flexibilty than similar but more limited adapters.
Fast and reliable
Pros: Boot time cut by 2/3rds and after login, the desktop is all ready to go just as fast. No errors to date and kept error checked and trimmed, I don't expect any. This is the OS drive. A companion hard drive is the Data and Documents drive. Works exceptionally well in that configuration.
Cons: None yet. Easy clone and install and hefty performance boost.
Overall Review: You don't need to be a Gamer to appreciate and use this drive to maximum advantage and at today's prices, it's a lot of bang for the buck.
Great desk mike
Pros: Works as advertised. Wired and has an on and off switch and mike level controls. Genius!
Cons: The boom gets in the way sometimes, but that is just a desk layout issue.
Overall Review: A wise choice for us wireless avoiders.
Great crew.
Wicked fast! Wicked well packed. Just as advertised and I needed. Thanks, Go Hard Drive!
