Thin and light gadgets - ORICO USB3.0 HUB & Gigabit NIC converters

Hello, everyone, I've cheated gold again. Such as the title, this time to the sun is a thin and light notebook accessories, USB3.0 to USB3.0 HUB & Gigabit Ethernet converter.

Due to limitations in the space of the airframe, interfaces on some thin and light laptops have been reduced, and some of the larger and less commonly used interfaces have been eliminated, such as VGA, HDMI, and RJ45 network ports. The Apple MacBook 12 even comes with only a Type-C and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which can be cumbersome when it comes to connecting peripherals. The same is true for the small new Air 12 in my hand. There is no RJ45 network port, but sometimes I have to use a wired network and I have to buy a converter.

After some screening, the following goods were finally started.

The main reason for choosing it is that its data lines are detachable, easy to store, and the data lines are easily replaced if they are broken. And it comes standard with two data lines, a USB3.0 A port - USB3.0 A port, a Type-C - USB3.0 A port, the notebook can be used in the production of the last two years. There is also a function of the business, the shape is a cylindrical product, looks higher value, I am afraid to use it will scroll on the desktop to choose the above party.

The following is simple out of the box

Very simple small carton

Here are a few details of the photo. The main body of the converter is aluminum alloy, holding a little weight on the hand. Above is a blue indicator light and three USB3.0 outputs, the upper end is USB3.0 input, the lower end is RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port

Both ends are plastic material, because the reflection looks like metal, the assembly process is slightly low

The standard two data lines, workmanship is acceptable, is a bit hard, do not know if USB3.0 data line has no kind of noodles

Looks like a small new Air 12

In order to make this article of deceiving gold coins have a little gold content, I also spent some time on a simple test.

The first is the speed test of the USB3.0 interface. The fastest peripheral for reading and writing in my hands is the mobile hard disk assembled with the replacement Kingston SSD.

Received converter USB3.0 interface (with Type-C interface out) and the notebook comes with USB3.0 interface to test the continuous read and write speed, it can be said that there is no difference (estimate the speed bottleneck in the assembly of mobile hard disk USB3.0- On the SATA conversion circuit, this converter will not become a bottleneck in use.

The following is a test of the speed of the network card. A small cable is used to directly connect the new Air 12 to the desktop, and the movie is copied from the desktop (solid state drive) through network sharing.

Speed ​​is still possible, reaching the standard of Gigabit LAN.

Summary: Orico ASH3L-U3 converter workmanship is acceptable, good performance, its 138 yuan price is not too high in its class, the only drawback is that the standard data line is a bit hard, reducing the experience, in general It is a product worth buying.
