In our round-up, we compare three Marvell/ Aquantia AQC111U adapters that convert USB 3.0/ 3.1 to 5GbE. Although these three units from StarTech (USG5GA30), Sabrent (NT-SS5G), and TRENDnet (TUC-ET5G) all use the same controller chip, we see differences in performance, stability, physical specs, and pricing. In this video, we discuss what we found when comparing the three units.
