Why this adapter x3 time more expensive than a generic $10 one ? The controller inside is absolutely the same "d720202" Renesas also called NEC. WHY ?

I don't know what you mean by a $ 10.00 generic one, but this is a USB 3.0 Adaptor. It is a 10X faster than a generic 2.0 USB.

As a long time StarTech customer I know that, unlike the $10 generics, StarTech will provide: a web site from which I can get drivers-for many years after the purchase; updated drivers- for many years after the purchase; at least some level of tech support. Remember that a chip manufacturer like Renesas usually does NOT provide the final drivers, and hardware is useless without drivers. Beyond that, when I use this StarTech USB3 ExpressCard with other StarTech USB3 devices (such as the awesome USB32HDDVII video controller) then I can have some real confidence that there will be someone who continually tries to ensure that they will work together, for years after the purchase, and as the O/S evolve.

Hi Chris. I'm not sure if it's the same adapter or not, but it doesn't have the "FULLPOWER" name on it.

I'm not 100% sure for tomato, but I do know for DD-WRT you would want the 4302 bin for the 8302. (I have the 7301 and 7302, and those are 3301/3302 respectively, the 8301/8302 are actually 4301/4301 units) The stock firmware is junk. the share and sharemax (3302/3301) have gone up a lot in prices since i started buying them. thinking of trying to get some of these to play with :)

Controllers will never recognize this devise for some reason on my desktop, and 3 laptops. eSATA is the ultimate solution faster 2x and much more reliable They promise to revive all usb 3.0 devises and controllers .It means that new 2015 PC's will have no issues on motherboards .USB 3.0 is very new to the manufacturers (they trying to sell older hardware first :) Forget about this gadget

I just noticed the inflated price. I bought mine a month ago, found it as effective as a whole new adapter, but then lost it when my granddaughters were here for the week. At $10 I wouldn't have 2nd thoughts. But at over 15 (price hike, tax and shipping) you may wish to look into the MagSafe 2 adapter knock-offs. They'll probably work just as well and last longer (because they're much harder to lose).

The website I used before apparently is down. I did however find another site that I think has the same driver. Here is the link: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Other-DRIVERS-TOOLS/Renesas/Renesas-Electronics-uPD720201-uPD720202-USB-30-Driver-30200.shtml I was digging through my files and THANKFULLY typed up a notepad document's worth of basic instructions for myself for future reference (if I ever had to reinstall for whatever reason). Here is the TITLE of the driver that I downloaded; It may help you in your search: "NEC/RENESAS USB3 Controller (uPD720201 & uPD720202) Drivers Version 3.0.23.0" Let me know if you can't find a working driver. I have the original saved to my HHD and can put it online for you if you would like! Hope all works out for you! -- Very Respectfully, ENS Craig Karduck, USN

Yes, from what my research has come up with is that it is the same but less expensive. It works as well or even better than the more expensive module.

If you got to the Analogix Semiconductor website they link to the same product on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DWGB6CU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_V5easb1TH7JN0 It is the same product by the same people, don't know why they changed the page. Hope this helps

My adapter reads EXACTLY as follows: AC/DC Adapter Model: BLL-12012A Input: AC 100-240V (50/60Hz) Output: DC12V - 1.5A Made in China Side Note: I bought my modem /router + adapter as an all in 1 set from a seller on Amazon. My Power cord would not naturally fit into the AC power slot on the back of the modem. To bypass this issue my Power Cord came with an adapter that fits perfectly into the designed power slot on the modem... I'm no expert but if you're a guy that keeps all types of old junk... I would try the adapter cord from a Super Nintendo or Regular NES even Sega... The AC plug in slot manufactured was very popular in the 80's and 90's so its possible u have something around the house that fits just right. Hope this helps. No internet means NO LIFE to me. : )

Opteka has every adapter just call their customer support. They have the best customer support I have ever experienced!

I did some research and saw that the X10 works with units previously sold by Radio Shack and Sears. I had an old controller from the '70s and the new X10 works with my previous light/appliance modules. I suggest you check yourself for your specific model but believe it will be compatible from my experience.

My experience based on experimenting concluded that another set of the exact make, model and manufacturerused the same codes making all the adapters operate the same as original set. Only purchasing from a different model, manufacturer operated other appliances independently of other sets of adapters becauseof different codes used in the adapters and corresponding remotes.

I am not sure what equipment that is, however I do know serial....this is hands down compatible with darn near everything I have come across....where the other USB-Serial adaptors fail...this one does not...this is a fantastic product!

Yes the adapter works great. I went with the best price and not by brand name. The risk was worth it to me, but it's really what you are comfortable with. It's very simple and easy to use - even a novice can figure it out.

Thank You. But its impossible to buy the correct adapter without reviewing the voltage and Current specifications. But after I asked my question I found the right one on Amazon, and it was not this one, although they look the same.

I believe it's because the D model has better construction, maybe a fan to keep it cool. Since you're going to be keeping it in a wiring closet, the noise of a fan is immaterial. I think the key difference is that the 1016D seems to be able to deliver a guaranteed 1GB to each port whereas the 1016A is sharing in such a way that the load may be spread equally or in a less efficient way? I know you realize that both are unmanaged switches, which with your lack of networking background and short temper, that's obviously the only correct choice. I think we'd get by with the 1016A...

This really depends on your non-cisco switch. I believe Arista switches for example started to no longer support third-party modules. For $55... I suggest trying one or two and returning if it doesn't work. Hope this helps!
