ASUSTOR today has introduced the AS-U2.5G USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet controller. The new AS-U2.5G provides even faster Ethernet speeds by allowing laptops, desktops and NAS devices to easily upgrade their network speeds beyond Gigabit speeds.

For my fellow unenlightened, ASUSTOR ADM is apparently ASUS NAS.

$45? That's... decent. Hopefully it'll drop a bit below MSRP as time goes by. At $30, this would be great.

It's at $36 on A**zon already.

And I just got an Asustor 5304T NAS so am looking closely at this.

Nice item with nice price, now if we just could get some (reasonably-priced) home routers/modems with 2.5G ports, we would be set, at least until 10G stuff rolls downwards to the consumer level anyways :)

Yeah, we need affordable 2.5G routers and switches too.
10GbE would be nice but most consumers are running SATA drives in their NAS or home servers which top out at around 200MB/s sequential anyway.

Why would you "block" out the word "Amazon?"

Some boards that have affiliate links to competitors don't like it; I just joined so thought I'd play it safe till I got around to looking for the rules. :)

Holy shit! They do that? Guess I'm glad I don't join too many forums.

AVSForums, for one, don't like price discussions. they don't ban you or anything, just ask you to don't. And I think Amazon doesn't like links to other shops in comments/reviews.
