totally different, Gigabit vs 2.5gb
Burying the lede here... usb>eth are a dime-a-dozen all over.

The relevant feature here is 2.5 gbps -- those adapters are typically in the $20-30 range.
Two point five gigabit which is two point five times faster than one gigabit. That's why it's a deal.

I have a USB A to Ethernet and it has proven to be an excellent tool over the years. One of the things it is better to have on hand. Used it when working on multiple networks in home, when Ethernet dies in existing device, and when existing devices don't have Ethernet ports or drivers.

If you are looking for one to use like I use it, look for one that is plug and play with Linux support. Not sure if this one is the one I want.

Just started moving some devices to 2.5, loving it so far. Get just about max speed of mechanical hard drives moving files between computers. Also have been needing a new Ethernet adapter for my MacBook so this should work great for both. Thanks!

Thanks OP! Using the code I received $5.39 off. That brought the deal down to $21.56.

Has anyone been able to get the total to $16?

Yes. Shows $19.99 as a limited time deal. Then code bring it down to $15.99 at checkout.

My question is, does this 2.5G adapter need drivers for Windows, Mac or Android or does it work natively like most 1G adapters do?

Hmm. Going to put this on an Unraid build and see how it goes. Hopefully driver support exists. If not, I wonder if it'll work on a Synology. Time to google.

As a Systems Engineer who has OTT home NAS systems I highly recommend against using a USB ethernet adapter for full time duty, these are more for on the spot transient jobs.

You can get 10gb PCI cards for almost the same price on eBay.
If your device cant support a PCI card, take that into mind next time you build one.

Also you can setup failover, so atleast that can help with some of the risk in using a less reliable USB device.

I have the 10gb PCI card as the main interface that will fail over to the built in 1gb port.

Like what an enterprise grade Intel network card? They last FOREVER and are way more reliable than a USB device.
