    USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet

    Hi All

    I want to buy a USB gigabit adapter for my Gigablue Quad. But which one is the best - and which are supported?
    Looking at this StarTech.com USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet. I know that the gigablue is not USB 3.0, but will it still work?

    Thanks.

    Ok - but it claims to be 450Mbit compared to the 100Mbit we have today ? So only double?

    if you get faster than 100mbits then yes.

    I installed the adapter and he drivers was installed to. Everything works now.

    The throughput is around 22-25 megabytes.

    Now - when I transfer big files like a 8GB mkv file, then the throughput drops dramatically after transfering for a few minutes. The throughput drops to around 7-8 megabytes, which then at the end could mean, that the transfer would be quicker with the normal 100mbit connection.

    Anyone have an idea to what happens here ? Is there a buffer I have to set higher or is this a driver issue?
