Huh, I hadn't seen the Thunderbolt ones. The USB ones are notorious for not really working (they seem to have driver issues). Hopefully the Thunderbolt ones are better?
- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoThunderbolt is just PCIe under the hood, so it would hopefully work as well as a PCIe Gigabit Ethernet one. Although the fact it's Apple-made is probably more important, since they'll have made sure it works.
- acdha 13y agoI'd second the thunderbolt recommendation but I would question the concerns about USB – until upgrading to Thunderbolt, I had no problems with daily heavy usage (along with several coworkers). The main drawback is that the USB devices can't go over 100Mb.
