Review: Super Fast Transfer Speeds between my Windows 7 x64 PC & Win7 x64 Laptop - Excellent product - Installed great between my Windows 7 units and working as expected. However, my old vista x64 bit computers no longer receive windows updates, Microsoft is responsible for this, as both computers gave the same error after one of Microsoft's last successful updates, now get 'Cannot get Windows updates', or something like that, both vista computers now remain on 'Searching for Updates', for days, and never find anything. So, I downloaded the recommended file that StarTech as they ask us to do, in came in the form of a Microsoft KB...file, which is the type file that Microsoft, sends their windows updates on, thus (again), when I tried to execute this file on both Vista x64 bit computers, it continues to SEARCH for the UPDATES, which it has for over 8 hours now... I cannot find a direct download for this StarTech requested file to circumvent the problem, it appears that I will not be able to use StarTech's USB3Link on my Vista computers, unless they come up with a way to update Vista computers without using the Windows Update function, so I am back to using my forever, slow, USB drives and flash drives to move the files. Let me say, I am impressed with StarTech's USB3link on my Windows 7 units, it is super fast, I suspect my new win7 has usb3.1 capability, my first attempt to transfer a 8 GB file from my primary pc to the laptop, took a about 1 to 2 seconds, I've never seen such speed, my new computer is usb 3.1 capable, and 3.1 speed is enabled in my new bios, but, even though I have 2 usb 3.1 ports (rear), that also, take usb 3.0 connectors, I had used my usb 3.0 port, and still moved the 8gb in a couple of seconds, not sure if that is because of StarTech USB3Link, or my computer. Excellent and fast product.
Review: Easy to use, average transfer speed arround 100 MB/s - No need to install any drivers (on Windows nor Linux). When the cable is plugged into the PC, new removable drive become available with the transfer utilities and other materials.

### ⭐ Do not buy this
*by O***S on November 9, 2025*

Poor instructions and clunky user interface. Resulted in deleting 25 years of data. No support in helping locate where the deleted files went. Better off getting a external hard drive and transferring files.
