Double Dose of Connectivity Magic!
Being a computer engineer, I get to play around with a lot of tech goodies. But let me tell ya, this StarTech.com USB-C to Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter impressed my socks off. The convenience factor is real, folks! With two ethernet adapters coming in the same tiny dongle, it's like a pocket-sized Titan of connectivity! And we're not just talking a two-trick pony, this baby comes with an extra USB 3.0 (Type-A) port. It's like that bonus cherry your favorite ice cream shoppe throws in - unasked but oh so welcomed.What warmed my tech-savvy heart was the easily identifiable MAC addresses on the bottom. Nothing irks me more than having to play guessing games about which port is which. Smooth move StarTech, smooth move. If this bad boy was a flash drive, it would be the superhero one, complete with a cape and a 'USB-C' emblazoned on its chest. For connectivity that's more co-operative than a disciplined marching band, this is a piece of kit that definitely gets my nod of approval!

3.5 stars: functional
Some of the rubber feet fell off after even the first use, and for a plastic box it feels expensive, but both ports work and the device functions as expected. The only surprise I found was needing to download drivers from the manufacturer (that may need be updated and there is no automatic notification or mailing list to know when), but once installed, it performed correctly. I learned this chatting with customer support, which was helpful and efficient in handling my issue.If I could, I would rate this 3.5 stars considering, price, build quality, non-plug-and-play, and overall function. It is not a product that fits well within the mac eco-system, but it does what it should.

Works great
Works great. I’m using it to monitor a Dante networks (primary and secondary). One thing to note is it is not plug and play, at least not on Mac. You have to download some drivers/software. But once it’s setup I works flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Not worth it
One of the ports burnt out after using it less than 10 times.

Download the driver
Make sure you go get the driver from startech.com. If you don't it might not work. But great overall.
