Sabrent 2.5 and 5 gig USB Ethernet Adapters Review Lon does super clear tech reviews (highly recommended): They are playing “Catch Me if You Can” just for the love of $$$.įYI: here’s a comment I let at the lon.tv YouTube channel:
This is the same level of deceptiveness as WD which was selling SMR drives without telling people. In other words, 1 Gbits/sec is Missing In Action. All these products are stuck at 3.5-3.7 Gbits/sec.
The usually practical max throughput for a 2.5 GbE adapter is 2.35 Gbits/sec so you would expect about 4.70 Gbits/sec practical max throughput for a 5 GbE adapter. It is not even supporting close to 4 Gbits/sec.
Yes you get 5 Gbps supported by the USB v3.1 Gen1 PHY BUT you are not buying a USB device, you are buying a NETWORK device and this device qualified as 5 GbE is not in any shape of form supporting 5 GbE. They use the expression “5 GbE” knowing perfectly that each of these product DO NOT deliver 5 GbE networking.Įven the Marvell “marvell-ethernet-controllers-aqtion-aqc111u-112u-product-brief.pdf” brochure plays with the words: “…Integrated USB v3.1 Gen1 PHY…Supports line rates of up to 5 Gbps…”. I don’t understand why these brands are shooting themselves in the foot. That turned out to not be how they actually were published due to what we saw with the units and our desire to test on a number of systems.

At first, this was a series that was supposed to run bi-weekly on STH and without a video. We know many of our readers want summarized information. Many have said this unit is similar to the Sabrent unit, but we will verify this as we get further into the review process. We also have the QNAP QNA-UC5G1T units inbound based on the feedback we received with the initial set of results. We were alerted that this is the same unit except with a Type-C instead of a Type-A connector on the USB side. We have the StarTech US5GC30 in the table above.

That video discusses some of the key findings we had when reviewing the first three units. Here is a quick video discussing the Sabrent, StarTech, and TRENDnet adapter versions: There may be discounts that we did not receive or higher prices elsewhere. We are also using Amazon pricing for each unit as our Purchase Price. An example is that we received feedback on our recent review series that readers wanted to see the QNAP QNA-UC5G1T reviewed so we have those units inbound so we can test them on the same systems.
