    Hello MRO!

    hopefully it works. can you return it if you have issues?

    I'll worry about it if/when that happens.

    If you're looking for something new instead of ebay -- https://www.usbgear.com/ANYPLACEUSB-H3.html is a 3-port USB 3.1 over IP hub. Accessing over IP of course with a T60 with a Gigabit ethernet will limit you to Gigabit speeds. Anything over ethernet/IP will be the same. Effectively this is way faster than USB2.0, but only about double the theoretical maximum speed of USB2.0 (though has anyone really seen that speed sustained?)

    Most things you do over USB are pretty sporadic anyways.

    Excellent find. Thx.

    I suppose this could just be a RaspPi repackaged?

    Perhaps, but a device like that can supplant the meagre USB2 on
    older laptops.

    I have a pc that has limited or non-fuctional usb2 ports. I'd
    like to have support for fast usb3 devices. Is there a
    reasonably-priced usb3-over-eth solution? The Digi AnywhereUSB
    AW02-G300 sounds awesome but it is over $400.

    What about a PCIe expansion card. I see USB3 cards going for as little as $5.

    Spend the other $395 on gas...

    Cheers,
    Dennis

    Hello Airmailman!

    AnywhereUSB AW02-G300 sounds awesome but it is over $400.

    What about a PCIe expansion card. I see USB3 cards going
    for as little as $5.

    I decided to get an ExpressCard/54 (PCIe). My T60 Thinkpad
    seemed to accomodate one ..and I didn't realize ExpressCard
    support was there.

    The new card is equipped with three USB3.0 ports.

    Seems to be a good stop-gap measure for now.

    The USB3 speeds on the card are about double what I was getting
    on the USB2 ports. That's good enuff for now.

    No kidding. :O
