StarTech USB31000NDS USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter - 10/100/1000 Mbps

Pros: I bought this to add an additional network option to my Lenovo T520 laptop running RHEL 7.3. All I had to do was connect this USB to ethernet adapter and it was instantly recognized and showed up as a network card right away, I am currently running it as a network adapter in bridge mode on a VM. Works just as expected. Excellent product.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: Initially I tested this with Fedora - works great there as well.

Pros: Faster more reliable then WiFi

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Got for my brother to have a more reliable internet connection on his work laptop and he likes it.

Pros: I have used this device for a few months and it works flawlessly. It appears to be very fast and works as well as any NIC adapter I build right into the motherboard. I am very happy with this product. It appears to come with driver but using Win 10, the device is plug and play.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I recommend this product.

Pros: I have two of these and both of them worked immediately out of the box and have transferred bits apparently faultlessly for many months. These adapters should be attached to a USB 3.0 bus. That said, I use one of these for a 100 Mbs connection, though it is capable of 1000 Mbs. I did that because I was not realizing good performance with a USB 2.0 connection and a 100 Mbs adapter. Transfer speeds did improve, and I am happy with a USB 3.0/Gigabit Ethernet adapter attached to a USB 3.0 port on a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbs) connection.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Be careful when ordering this device; there are actually two offerings -- one with a dongle and one w/o. A dongle is a short USB cable that will extend from the computer's USB port to this adapter. You need a dongle if your computer has many USB connections and consequently there is not much room in the rear of the computer. On the other hand, if your computer has a free USB 3.0 port with plenty of room around it, you do not need a dongle. If the small extra cost of the dongle is not too important to you, buy it; better safe than sorry.

Pros: Easy to set up Small (no dongle cord) Switch between computers easily, Mac and Windows

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Note that it brings its own MAC address so if you use it on a MAC-filtered network, you can easily attach new devices through this (without having to spoof another MAC address)
