Connect a computer to a LAN at maximum speed with this USB 3.0 Gigabit LAN adapter.  It has all the speed of an internal card, but adds the convenience and portability of a USB device.  Full backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ensures that it will work with almost any computer.  No driver disk required.  On Linux and Mac OS 10.6+, just plug it in and the network interface shows right up.  On Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, if the drivers are not present, a virtual CD image will show up in My Computer–just open it and run the executable; the drivers install instantly and the network interface shows right up.  The performance and ease of installation on all OS's makes this an indispensable item for anyone who deals with wired networking.
