OWC’s official Amazon storefront offers its Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter for $148.75 shipped. You’ll also find it available at B&H and for $1 more at OWC direct. That’s good for an over $26 discount from the going rate and is a new all-time low. While the new Mac mini has the optional ability to tout 10G Ethernet, this adapter brings the very same capabilities to your Mac and more. The bus-powered add-on brings up to 40Gbps speeds to your machine over the USB-C interface and is a must for interacting with network storage and more. So far ratings are still coming in, but we’re big fans of other OWC Mac peripherals we’ve gone hands-on with.
Monoprice just recently just released its own Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter, which is worth checking out as another option for bolstering your Mac’s network speeds.
