...in using my Framework 2.5GbE cards to speed up a large data transfer to 2.5Gb. Got 0.28 instead. ๐Ÿคญ

These aren't the USB-A to USB-C adapters I was looking for. ๐Ÿ˜‚

might have to convert to PS/2 for faster speeds

USB 3.1 is 10Gb/s so it should work but as you noted yourself, these adapters are in my experience often just USB 2.0

If it doesnt have the extra pins needed for USB 3.0 then its the adapters fault. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Connector_type_quick_reference

I think I found one that has the pins. It's by OWC and I think they've "solved" the fact that it can be dangerous if the wrong thing plugs into it by permanently tethering it to their USB-C cable.

Probably just need to do the crossover ๐Ÿ˜„

Nah, auto MDIX should've figured it out.

Also I'm not sure the 2.5G spec supports crossover cables anyway.

It doesn't, I was only joking

I've always fantasized about using a USB-A to A cable.

I have one from a work piece of hardware which has a USB port that can operate in either device or host mode. ๐Ÿฅน

Get an older external hard drive, live the dream.

I have one that actually takes USB-B, you'd better believe I'm not losing that cable lol
