ooh! there's a CD! No USB3, but, dude, free CD-ROM!
It works fine, very little drop-outs (pic 2). But no, it's not worth $45. Imagery deceptively looks like it's USB 3.x, but it's not (pic 1). Photos in the description are careful to avoid seeing far enough inside the plug to see if it has the five extra USB 3 pins. Oh and get this, it comes with a CD and it says on it's sleeve "run this CD before connecting." I swear I heard someone out the window yell "impeach Bush" when I read that. Well, whatever, why not. Popped it in, and ran the Setup.exe file and "An administrator has blocked you from running this app. For more information, contact the administrator." That's a new one. I figured maybe it's coz it's in the root of an optical disk and there's an "autorun.inf" that references it. NOPE! I copied all the contents to a folder on my storage and got the same thing (pic 3). Still not sure if it's my Anti-virus, my VPN, or just Windows 10 being all "dude, ... come on." So I plugged it into another USB port, and sure enough Windows found the driver, downloaded it, installed it, and it works just fine (which was what I was going to do in the first place). One small note, this thing generates a bit of heat. Not flash-drive-in-a-USB-3-slot heat, but much hotter than I expected.
