Review on ๐ŸŒŸ StarTech Com USB Gigabit Ethernet Adapter: Enhanced Networking Solutions by Darryl Buck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It was slow there at first. Well, that's fast

Let me start by saying that this ethernet adapter does exactly what I need it for: gigabit ethernet transfer speeds. My problem: While trying to restore a disk image backup on my Dell Inspiron laptop, I found that my built-in ethernet network card was only a 100 BaseT device. The Ethernet transfer rate was extremely slow and it took more than 18 hours for the recovery process to complete. I installed the Startech USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and the transfer speed has improved significantly. Recovery time has been reduced to less than 2 hours. Also, the Startech adapter works flawlessly in the Acronis TrueImage Recovery Environment.
