Review on Sabrent Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter TH S3EA by Tutan Guliford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very poor Linux support

Two of these adapters on two NUC8s with Debian and Proxmox. When using Debian 10 and Proxmox 6, the driver recognized the adapters and kept the speed at 10G for several hours or even days before completely freezing (the interface became unavailable). After upgrading to Debian 11 and Proxmox 7 in hopes of better driver support, it's not even recognized anymore. Even after compiling the driver from source (Atlantic driver), BIOS update, TB firmware, Sabrent firmware, it still doesn't work. If you use this with Linux I would not recommend this product.

Pros
  • Chic design
Cons
  • New competitors
