Review: FAST, 1.53Gb/s between computers! - Excellent product. The first thing I did before jumping into anything was upgrade the firmware on the "switch" side of the USB adapter, which btw took about 5 minutes. The adapter itself has a read-only drive where the "Wormhole Switch" application software was located. Once I've had the firmware updated and drivers installed on both computers, it operated smooth as butter from there. The KVM part worked flawlessly. My setup for the transfer speed test. Computer 1 ------------------ CPU: AMD FX-8350 RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM HDD: Sandisk X110 256GB SSD. Data ports: USB 3.0 Super Speed (dark blue colored, if it's not blue it's not USB 3.0) Data bridge device: USB 3.0 Wormhole Switch Cable JUC500. Operating System: Windows 7 Professional x64. Computer 2 - Dell Inpsiron 15R Special Edition Laptop CPU: Core i7-3632QM RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz HDD: Samsung 850 PRO 256GB SSD. Operating System: Windows 7 Profession x64. File size: Generated a 10GB Truecrypt dummy file. Method of transfer: File Shuttle program and Drag and Desktop drag-and-drop. File transfer speed average: 123MB/s (984 megabits per second) Peak transfer speed: 192MB/s (1.53 gigabits per second) Total time to transfer a 10GB file: 81 seconds Overall I'm very satisfied! The file transfer speed easily tops my 1 gigabit Ethernet connection, which tops out at around 100-112MB/s (800-900 megabits per second). If you did everything correctly i.e. updated firmware for windows 7/8.1/10, then installed drivers on both computers, then you won't have any problems. As for MACs I have no idea, y'all are on your own. If you want top speeds via USB 3.0 protocol, you need to have SSDs on both computers. Spindle hard drives top out at 75MB/s (600 megabits per second) after its built-in disk cache has been saturated, so don't let the fast initial speed fool you on hard disk drives. If you want top speed USB 3.0, get SSDs. ================================================================================================ Update: November 16, 2015. I noticed that in Windows 7 Professional x64 the drivers created an "MCT 7500 NDIS 6.0" miniport connection at 5Gbps which came with an IP address. I didn't like the preconfigured IP address so I manually changed the IP addresses from the PC and Laptop to 192.168.137.2 and 192.168.137.1, respectively. I pinged the other computer from my PC using command prompt and got <1ms pings, and yes, I disabled my LAN connection making sure that the ping was ONLY going through the USB 3.0 NDIS emulated ports/bridge. I even went a step further and shared the gigabit LAN connection to the internet via ICS on the Laptop side with it's USB 3.0 that's directly connected to my PC and now I have internet connection. As for throughput, I still got around 157.8MB/s (1.233Gbit/s), which is still way better than my gigabit ethernet connection. ================================================================================================ Update: November 28, 2015. I seem to get consistent 150-161MByte/s (1,200-1,300Mbit/s) thoughput between two host computers with SSDs. Both of my computers have SSDs capable of 400+MB/s speed according to Crystal Mark 5.0.2 x64 bit edition. I wonder if get another JUC500 and perform an LACP-like bonded connection I'd get (in theory) 300-400MB/s (2,400-3,200Mbit/s), which would put me about 48-64% of the total bandwidth that USB 3.0 has to offer at 5,000Mbit/s (4,800Mbit/s with overhead).
Review: Lets us make this work. - I know there are some kinks in this setup, however for last 7 years this is the only thing that has worked for me. I work across machines that are on separate VPN and there is nothing else that has worked for me. I have used both USB 2.0 and 3.0. Below are few suggestions, please add yours in comments or provide link to them in comments. - Do not run directly from mounted CD drive copy to folder or go online and get latest version and run from HD/NVMe. You may disable auto play for it all together. - Run as administrator. - Make sure to plug in USB 3.0 port and avoid USB hub for troubleshooting. - Turn off/Kill Logitech flow or similar programs that alter mouse/keyboard behavior for troubleshooting.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What was the real world file transfer speed?**
A: I have 2 computers linked with the cable on a USB 3.0 protocol, one is an 8-core AMD PC with 16GB RAM and an SSD, the other is a laptop with a core i7, 16GB RAM, and an SSD. I created a 10GB Truecrypt dummy file and got between 150MB/s (1.2Gbit/s) and 192MB/s (1.53Gbit/s). It's awesome because my gigabit LAN connection tops out at 800-900 Mbit/s while my USB 3.0 connection tops out at 1,200-1,530 Mbit/s. Both computers are running Windows 7 Professional x64 bit Operating System. Your real world speed may vary depending upon what types of files you transfer and system specs on both machines. If you transfer one large file it'll be faster, but if you transfer a folder with many small files it, it'll be slower, even if you have an SSD. Another thing is the drivers installed emulates a USB 3.0 5.0 Gbit/s  MCT 7500 NDIS LAN connection and gives it an IP address so I can link to shared files between computers using IP addresses and/or Netbios. I thought the "copy and paste," "drag and drop between desktops," or file shuttle were the only options, but nope, IP-based LAN sharing is also another option. See my rating on the item below so you can get a better idea of what to expect.

**Q: Can I hear the audio from the both connected computers through headphones?**
A: The JUC500 is a Data Transfer Cable between two computers. Audio is not transmitted through this cable, unfortunately.

**Q: What is the difference between the 100, 400 and this (usb 3.0)  wormhole switch?**
A: The difference comes in the functionality provided. The JUC100 allows the sharing of a Mouse, Keyboard, and files between two windows computers and uses USB 2.0 spec. The JUC400 works similarly to the JUC100 however it is also compatible with MacOS and is USB 3.0.

**Q: Will this work on a Linux operating system? Specifically, Ubuntu 20.04?**
A: At this time the JUC500 is only compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 5 Gbps network connection and drag-and-drop? Yes please! BSODs, hard-freezes, and other shenanigans? Uh, no...
*by K***5 on June 22, 2015*

To clarify what this product actually does: A) Creates a network connection between two PCs over USB 3.0. This. Is. Awesome! (when it works) B) Also allows the ability to control the other PC's keyboard and mouse input from a single keyboard/mouse in a KVM-ish/LogMeIn-ish way by moving the mouse cursor to the right of the host PC. Files can also be dragged and dropped between PCs (also pretty cool), and doesn't seem to actually use the TCP/IP connection established in A) above (or at least it doesn't show any network activity in Task Manager when transferring files through the drag-and-drop method). The reason I'm deducting two stars is because of driver instability. I've had the driver Blue-Screen Windows 8.1 and hard-freeze Windows 7 multiple times. This could be from USB 3.0 power draw--when I used USB 3.0 powered hubs on both PCs, things were a lot more stable. Transferring files using Method B) only exacerbates the instability--this is when you're most likely to get a BSOD or hard freeze. To reduce the chance of instability, use Method A) and transfer through a file share. As for actual speeds? Well you're really only going to see the benefit if you're not bottlenecked by anything else (like mechanical storage). I would recommend this cable only if you want the convenience of drag and drop, have additional USB 3.0 hubs to offset power issues, and are okay with the occasional BSOD or hard freeze. If you're buying this for super-high speed file transfers, you better have SSDs. Otherwise just stick to Gigabit Ethernet. j5create: If you want a more positive review, fix your drivers and/or this product's power draw! Better yet, add a Y-cable to one or both ends to help with power issues! UPDATE: 7/2/2015: I tried Method A to do Hyper-V VM live migrations between two servers that have USB 3.0 cards in them. Transfer speed hovers between 1.1 and 1.4 Gbps, which is nice! The important part is that it's STABLE! I thought about adding a star to the review, but since this product is advertised to do Method B, and it still has BSODs, disconnects, etc. with that, I'm keeping it at 3 stars.
