This adapter comes equipped with a captive, user-replaceable Thunderbolt 3 cable, as well as a single RJ45 network port.

Review: Perfect - 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.
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be rated for 24/7 operation? planning to use it for my nuc and ds1819+**
A: Ironically, I am also using it with a NUC and DS1819+.  I don't remember seeing a rating for it in that regard, but I have been using it 24/7 since November with success.  It is warm, but seems to work well.  Glad to see you landed on this one.   I bought a different one first, and couldn't get it to work.  Good luck!

**Q: Will this work with Linux? Are there Linux drivers?**
A: The chip vendor (Aquantia) makes a Linux driver available here  https://www.aquantia.com/support/driver-download/ This device is the AQC-107.

I can't speak to the quality or installation process for this driver, but Sonnet's site points you there. http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=537&expand=_a3&action=b1032#b1032

**Q: Will this work with a intel nuc?**
A: I never even heard of an Intel NUC.  But I looked it up, and it does have a Thunderbolt 3 port, so I guess - yes, it "should" work, as long as you 
can download drivers for normal Win 10 computers on the Intel NUC
Bob Zelin

**Q: Windows 10 isn't finding a driver for this adapter... I've approved the adapter in the thunderbolt app, but can't find a driver... Do I download it?**
A: You can download Windows and Linux drivers from the support area of the sonnettech web site. MacOS drivers are native.

*by A***D on 1 August 2019*

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.
