no problems, good speed even with usb 2

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: bought this for use with my lenovo HDMI stick computer (Lenovo Ideacenter 300 stick). It has a USB 2.0 connection on it, so no sense buying a USB 3.0 adapter... The Lenovo's Wi-Fi anntenna is pretty weak, and I was not happy with it's network speed while it was set up behind my living room TV... so this was the perfect solution.

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Fast to send; slow to receive

Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Ownership: more than 1 year

Useless for anything but Windows

Pros: Came quickly

Cons: As the other comment states, doesn't work with BSD, Linux, or Mac. Probably works with Windows 7, but I don't, so it doesn't matter. The old model was much better.

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: For its intended purpose - none

Cons: No drivers for this adapter exist for the Surface RT or PRO. I called their support and was told the same thing. Whats a bit ironic is that within the same chipset, a higher numbered chipset actually has an RT driver so go figure.

Other Thoughts: Manufacturers need to include whether a device is RT/PRO compatible within their verbiage or documentation. Will be sending this thing back.

Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Works well for a USB 2.0 ethernet adapter.

Cons: Not as fast as I was hoping it would be.

Other Thoughts: I own two of these. The first I bought ~1yr ago and is the older gen to this one (new purchase; just arrived today). The first I am using on a 10/100 network where I needed another NIC on a box with no more room. It has been very reliable with a lot of traffic on it. Concidering how much I have beat on it over the last year, I am giving it 4 stars.
I bought a second one because a build-in Gb network card kicked the bucket. Other then that the box is in fantastic shape, has no free slots in it, and I don't want to replace the MB but I need a network card. Since the USB 2.0 specs out at 480Mb/s [~= 60MB/s] I was really hoping to push around 50MB/s with this device. I took two identical systems and a crossover cable and ran iperf3 tests on Ubuntu Linux. 112MB/s on average is the baseline between the two real built-in Gb cards on those two boxes. I plugged this device in and reran the tests. There was zero fluctuation in all of the iperf3 tests: 35.1MB/s. Every time. No matter which system I plugged it into, or how I rigged the cabling (crossover/used a switch) it was 35.1MB/s.
Now 35.1MB/s isn't too terrible by any means, but I frequently push multi-GB files back and forth to the box this device will sit on and I know I can't expect the max 60MB/s out of it but I would have /really/ liked to have gotten at least mid 40's - upper 50's out of the device.
So it isn't as fast as I would like, but at least I know the first one has been quite reliable thus far. Hopefully this new one is equally reliable.

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Works perfectly. I can connect it to a virtual machine.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Since IT won't let me create my own subnets on their switches anymore, I use this for development in my office. I can connect to the IT network via the integrated NIC to maintain internet and network drive function, and I can connect to other hardware via a switch on my desk. I usually develop in VMs, and this works well for that.
