Is the OWC Thunderbolt 3 10 GB/s Ethermnet Adapter the same thing as the Sonnet Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition with different labeling?

Does this work with Mac OS v11 (Big Sur)? I have the Mac Mini 9,1 and a similar adapter by Akitio (now owned by OWC) and it is not working. OWC Lists it as compatible with the Mac Mini, but not with Big Sur. Please help!
Asked by: Jeff
If you look at the tech specs, you'll see that the Sonnet Solo10G device about one-half of OWC's device and is smaller dimensionally: 3 x 1 x 4.5 in. versus 3 x 1.5 x 5 in. OWC does give you a rubber sleeve for protection from bumps. They use the identical controller: AQC-107S. It's not an easy choice. Cheers Chris

Do you need this for a Mac Studio ?
Asked by: Mark
The latest Mac Studio models already include a 10 Gb/s Ethernet port, so the OWC Thunderbolt 3 10 Gb/s Ethernet Adapter would not be necessary.

Asked by: Jacob
The OWC Thunderbolt 3 10 Gb/s Ethernet Adapter BH #OWTB3ADP10GE is a Ethernet adapter for a computer. Internet speed is not part of the equation. You would need a router/switch and a NAS both capable of 10Gb speeds.
