Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fanless Adapter with NBASE-T Support

You have to make some USB settings on the bios If you want it to work on Windows 10 and will work with full speed.

I’ve been wanting to upgrade my home network to 10G speeds, so I bought the solo for my network adapter for my Alienware 17 R5 laptop. This device does achieve the rated 10G speeds. I have this wired to a 10G UniFi switch via cat6, the switch is also connected to my server with a 10G nic that has a m.2 SSD drive. And in the attached video you can see that a 15 gigabyte file transferred across my network in 15 seconds!!! Don’t forget that your speeds will only be as fast as other bottlenecks in your system as most mechanical hard drives top out at 150 MB/sec and even standard SSD top out at 500 MB/sec. (non-raid). m.2 SSD drives are really fast and will allow reads and writes at or above the 1Gb/sec transfer rate. Most of the time this device runs slightly warm, however during long durations of high speed transfers it does get hot. But I have had no issues after 2 weeks of usage. I’m very happy with the product and highly recommend for laptop uses, as a standard 10G nic is more cost effective for a desktop application.

Using this to my 10GB upgraded Synolody disk for direct access on my macbook pro. This has literally and instantly reduced a 4GB file transfer from 20 min to 3 seconds in a heart beat. Amazing piece of equipment and for those out there who have a NAS Diskstation and would like to enjoy a fast local access... go for it. The only point I would like to add is that it does warm a bit but I would have to leave it on for sometime to be able to provide an accurate feedback regarding this.

Thunderbolt対応製品始めて使うので見当違いの事を言ってたら申し訳有りません。 ドスパラのGALLERIA GCR1660TGF-QCにて使用。 まず私の環境ではThunderbolt3に接続させただけでは認識されませんでした。 Microsoft StoreでThunderbolt Control Centerというアプリをインストールし、接続許可の操作をして始めて認識されたといった感じです。ただ、この状態ではWindowsのデバイスマネージャーには認識されてません。 説明書だとデバイスマネージャーからドライバーをインストールとなってますが、デバイスマネージャーに認識されていないのでダウンロードしたドライバーのインストーラーでインストールしました。 それで一応、デバイスマネージャーにも認識されてネットにも繋がりました。 auひかりホーム10ギガに接続。 接続速度については、みんそく等では下り1.6G前後、auの計測サイトでは下り7.5G程度でした。 他の同じauひかり10ギガの方々と比べて特別遅いということは無いようで、概ね買って満足しております。 （投稿当初は接続速度について判断がつかなかったので☆3にしてましたが、現在は満足してますので☆5に直しました）

I bought this unit because my Mac Mini (2019) was not equipped with a 10GB network connection. The Solo 10 adapter works great, easily reaching the 1000 MB/s transfer speed in NVMe flash only environment. However, be advised that it gets hot, just simply being at idle on my desk, the all aluminum case reaches 45 degrees Celsius.

In fase di configurazione del nuovo Mac ho, stupidamente, ignorato la scheda Ethernet da 10 Gb/s, non comprendendone l’utilità e non intendendo affiancarci un NAS, dando per scontato che avrei continuato a lavorare su porte Thunderbolt e USB. Ma nel tempo le necessità sono cambiate e ho avuto bisogno di un NAS veloce, quindi la scheda Thunderbolt-10 GbE era un acquisto obbligato. Avendo già avuto periferiche di questo marchio nel corso degli anni, ho pensato di andare sul sicuro e non ne sono rimasto deluso. Unica pecca, comune a tutti i dispositivi di questo genere, è che scalda parecchio, quindi posizionatelo in un luogo sufficientemente aperto per garantirne la dissipazione del valore in modo efficace. Un piccolo punto che si potrebbe migliorare è la lunghezza del cavo Thunderbolt, un po’ esigua e non ne permette il posizionamento in un posto più discreto. A parte questo, l’accessorio è promosso a pieni voti. Sulla logistica Amazon non mi esprimo perché non serve: top come sempre! Un particolare complimento (consapevole del fatto che non gli arriverà mai) è rivolto al corriere che serve la mia zona, sempre estremamente gentile, discreto e disponibile, che lavora sempre col sorriso e una buona parola per tutti, nonostante abbia tonnellate di merce da recapitare e mille richieste assurde da parte dei destinatari!
