One question: how do you tell if an Ethernet adapter is placing a significant load on the CPU? Is there a process to check in Activity Monitor? Or does the computer just feel slower?Īs an aside if anyone else is considering making the move to 2.5G (or 5G for that matter): there are some pitfalls when interfacing 2.5G devices into 10G SFP+ ports. I'll plug the ULN into the Mac's built-in Ethernet port and use the D-Link for the network connection. I want a USB Ethernet adapter so the ULN-8 can have its own Ethernet port. Hopefully this will work itself out, but I haven't tested long enough to draw any conclusions. This only lasted a second or so before it switched back to the ULN-8. When playing music files from the NAS using Apple's Music app, there was a moment where the music output switched from the ULN-8 to the speakers on my NEC display. Via hackintosh Ethernet port: 767 Mbps download, 899 Mbps upload, ping: 4 ms, jitter 0.21 ms, loss 0%. Via DUB-E250: 772 Mbps download, 904 Mbps upload, ping: 3 ms, jitter 0.18 ms, loss 0%. Connected to the switch is my fiber internet connection, a Synology NAS, and a Metric Halo ULN-8 audio interface. My first test is connecting it to a Netgear GS105 switch. I'll eventually be using it with a Mac Studio, but that won't arrive for a couple of months. I just started testing the DUB-E250 on a hackintosh running Monterey 12.3.1.
