The Aquantia (now Marvell) AQC chipsets were/are often used in Thunderbolt 10 GbE adapters as well. IMO, another great alternative for > 1 GbE speeds is Wavlink's 5 GbE USB-C Ethernet adapter (unfortunately a bit hard to come by atm). Just slightly more expensive than 2.5 GbE adapters, its Realtek chipset is supported by the built-in CDC-ECM/NCM driver in macOS.
I guess it all depends on how long of a Thunderbolt cable you use. If you do not like the fan noise get a longer Thunderbolt cable and move it farther away as it does not need to be anywhere near your computer.
I'm surprised they aren't able to get the heat down. HP has their flex io 10Gbase T which is extremely small and can run at 47c just fine with no fan directly over it. They were only $50. Maybe it's the conversion to USB that causes too much heat.
QNAP teased their 2x25Gbe dual TB port adapter last year at CES still nothing from that device. If you have some intel about their adapter I’ll appreciate it 😊
Lon, I know 10G Ethernet is fast, but why use 10G Ethernet if you can add a WiFi 7 access point and adapter or upgrade to upgrade to a WiFi 7 router and adapter and get 30G+ wirelessly?
Because the "30G" (LMAOOOOOO) is for about 5 feet and it's a signaling frequency. 10Gbe is exactly, well, 10Gb delivered consistently. "30G" is a marketing term for a theoretical situation where a single client can receive all of the raw traffic from a single router *and* that traffic contains zero errors, is delivered in perfect sequence, and requires no control or error-correcting packets. My WiFi 7 "5.8Gb" connection (as reported by Windows) delivers between 89 and 151 MB/s (0.712 Gb to 1.208 Gb) in actual use... in the same small room. One room away and it's at ~20-30 on 6GHz and ~45-60 on 5GHz. Meanwhile, my 2.5Gbe delivers... 2.5Gb/s all day and 10Gbe delivers......... 10GB/s.
I just happened to look at a handful of wi-fi 7 mesh system reviews earlier this week. Real world speed from what I saw looked to reach 3.5-4.5 gigabits per second depending on the router and the conditions which were favorable.
I really like how you told us about the noise. Great review

I have great experience with the QNAP 10G SFP+ Thunderbolt adapter. Copper just gets too ho, use Fiber.
Keep up the great work

Hi, does this have drivers for Winodows Arm64, need a 10G adapter for my surface pro 11
👍
Serious question: does plex regret that sponsored video yet?
Regret what? They were looking for feedback they certainly got a lot of it!
@@LonSeidman lol, I guess that's true!
I wish I had 1/18th of the internet speed you have. 😂
It’s better to run fiber, not as much heat. Cost me 30 bucks for an armored cable, ran it from my office to network closet.
The cable might cost $30 but what network adapter are you using? That's the expensive part.
Can you please make a video about your 10gbe connection?
I have a whole series! th-cam.com/play/PLCZHp4d1HnIvemudtAaowntzlm0R1kDdI.html
Hopefully 5g and 10g get cheaper - I'm not spending over $50 for an external LAN adapter

@@tim3172 Even then the "30G+" router most likely only has a 2.5G port
Wire beats wireless every time.

They should change the company name to Orico Suave. 🎉
0:25 What is USB 4.0? Is that similar to USB4?
4.0 isn't listed as a USB version. Your description says "USB 4", which is also not a thing.
It's been commonly referred to USB 4.0 for a long time bud. I'm sure you can figure it out.
really?
