August 31, 20223 yr I ran out of slots on my mobo and I'd like to try setting up 2.5gbe on my server/network. I recently saw that there are USB 2.5gbe adapters available, is anyone using one successfully? If so what brand/model? Was it plug+play? I only found one related mention here in the forums but it is 1.5+ years old. I am running version 6.10.3 and have USB 3.1 ports available. TIA
August 31, 20223 yr I think that SimonF has good results with the QNAP QNA-UC5G1T. Maybe others work too. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/127515-solved-trying-to-add-usb-c-30-25gbps-ethernet-adapter/?do=findComment&comment=1162552
August 31, 20223 yr Yeah sounds like a good idea but when I tried it recently (with an 1Gb Adapter), I failed miserably. The "throughput" was lousy down to not-existent 😞 There must be a serious driver issue. So be prepared for getting depressed. But, of course, maybe you have more luck with a different chipset as the Realtek that I have tried...
