What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's title and details give a 1000 Mbps rate, while the feature text describes connectivity with 1000 Mbps Ethernet devices rather than confirming measured throughput. OS support is broad in the feature text but the detailed OS fields list only Linux and older minimum versions. Check support for your exact computer and operating system before buying. USB 3.0 is stated to enable maximum performance, so a USB 2.0 connection may not reach the listed rate. Customer feedback also describes mixed connectivity and reports of failures after a few months, which may matter for a connection needed continuously.
