Description
The Sonnet Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 to Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter provides two 10GbE ports for your Thunderbolt 3 system. The Twin 10G features two Thunderbolt 3 ports, so you can daisy-chain up to 6 Thunderbolt devices to a single system. To provide a reliable and fast networking connection, the 10GbE ports are outfitted with failover and link-aggregation support. With an onboard Intel X550 10GbE controller, the Twin 10G assists your system’s processor with flow controls as well as TCP, UDP, and IPv4 checksum processes, freeing up the CPU to work on other tasks. For cooling the internal components, it comes equipped with a variable-speed fan. Moreover, Sonnet includes a 1.6′ Thunderbolt cable along with a ThunderLok 3, which secures the cable to the chassis.

Got this a few days ago since I have a 10GB Lan Connection and have a 2.5GB ethernet port on my laptop & have thunderbolt 4. I thought I’d free up the bottleneck with everything @ 10GB ethernet with this unit. The manual was incorrect on installing the driver. I finally went ahead and pointed device manager to the entire folder, it found a driver which may not be correct. Sonnet Support is pretty much e-mail only which is not good. They do respond after 24 hours but I’d rather have live support. Performance of the unit is ok, but I didn’t pick up as much speed as I had hoped. If you only have a 1GB connection you would see a bigger improvement but for me it increased the transfer speeds to my NAS by 3 minutes which is really not enough to justify the cost. If you have fast SSDs you might see a bigger improvement but going from 2.5GB ethernet to 10 wasn’t much improvement for me. It could be because it will only write as fast as your write speeds on your NAS hard drives, and read as fast as the CFexpress which is probably where my bottleneck is now. It transferred 192GB worth of RAW files on a CFexpress type B card via a thunderbolt reader connected to the Sonnet 10GB ethernet card in 18 minutes. I’ll probably keep it, but the Jury is still out.

Outstanding — had an OWC box that claimed to do the same; fought its spotty performance for a year before buying this. Works like a charm.
