    I have a pc that has limited or non-fuctional usb2 ports. I'dãlike to have support for fast usb3 devices. Is there aãreasonably-priced usb3-over-eth solution? The Digi AnywhereUSBãAW02-G300 sounds awesome but it is over $400.ã-- ããã--- OpenXP 5.0.57ã * Origin: Ogg's Dovenet Point (723:320/1.9)ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

There are USB3 expansion cards you can add to a PC. This is a PCI express card:ãhttps://amzn.to/3m5uyUMããFull link:ãhttps://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Express-SuperSpeed-Controller-Adapter/dp/B0 09AT5SVSããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

I ãdon't need to change that aspect. It's parked at my desk ãsomewhat permanently. I've adapted to it. I like the all-in-one ãergonomics. And the keyboard of the T60 is superb to work with.ããMeanwhile, I found what I think will work. $25, shipped.ããhttps://www.ebay.ca/itm/115455105658ããIt might not provide the screaming 10x speed of USB2. But I've ãbeen reading that 3x is the norm. That's still pretty good for ãmy purposes.ããI still think a USB3 adaptor that would work on the higher ãcapacity Gigabit Ethernet port would be more practical for me. ã<g>ããã--- OpenXP 5.0.57ã * Origin: Ogg's Dovenet Point (723:320/1.9)ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

    Re: usb3-over-eth, anyone?ã By: Ogg to MRO on Sun Feb 26 2023 09:27 pmããIf you're looking for something new instead of ebay -- https://www.usbgear.com/ANYPLACEUSB-H3.html is a 3-port USB 3.1 over IP hub. Accessing over IP of course with a T60 with a Gigabit ethernet will limit you to Gigabit speeds. Anything over ethernet/IP will be the same. Effectively this is way faster than USB2.0, but only about double the theoretical maximum speed of USB2.0 (though has anyone really seen that speed sustained?)ããMost things you do over USB are pretty sporadic anyways.ããnostaliaãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Techrono BBS - techrono.synchro.netã
