I have printers that are both USB and network attachable so it's easy to share the printers between computers in the house but USB scanners are a different story. Let's face it, some really good Windows based software isn't available for mac o/s and some of the best graphics software isn't available for Windows, so I run Windows under Fusion on the mac downstairs. I also scan and store photos on the mac downstairs and my old MacBook Pro doesn't have the horsepower to get the job done any more. What I don't want is to move a couple of scanners into my entertainment cabinet and USB cables won't reach upstairs. With the Silex SX-3000GB, I was able to solve the problem. The Silex is great at sharing both USB scanners on the network while leaving them upstairs where I normally work. One scanner is an Epson GT-S50 for high speed duplex scanning of documents and the other is an Epson V600 for flatbed scanning of documents, photos, and negatives. The Silex works very well with both of these scanners. I don't notice any delays or speed degradation for either of these scanners. It might be different if I were to mount a USB hard drive to the Silex, but for scanners this device is fantastic. I initially had difficulty on the virtual Windows o/s because I forgot to install the scanners via USB first. That is a very important first lesson. Get the devices working as USB attached devices first to get the correct drivers installed, then move them to the Silex. Since doing that everything has been great. I can attach either scanner to the mac o/s or to the windows o/s. There is no difference in functionality or capability. My house is wired with Cat5E and I run Linksys Gig switches so I get very good throughput even if not true Gig speed. Come on, they're USB scanners. What should you expect? I can't give exact measurements but perception is good enough for me and they seem as fast as if direct connected via USB. I've had the Silex in operation for a couple of months now and once I got the scanners working correctly, there have been few if any problems. At most, I had to reboot the device server when a scanner got confused but that's only happened once. For simple installations on Windows or Mac OS, I'd rate the Silex a 1.5 on a 1 to 5 point scale of difficulty. For something more complex like Windows and Mac OS and VMware Fusion, I'd give it a 2.0 on a 1 to 5 scale of difficulty. Generally easy. If you need to locate USB only devices somewhere other than next to your computer, the Silex SX-3000GB is a great way to do it. I haven't connected a USB drive to it but I already have a NAS. (Why wouldn't you spend a few buck more to get a network attached drive or NAS like QNAP?) Put USB devices on the network with the Silex and put them anywhere in your house (or office). I am VERY pleased with the Silex SX-3000GB device server and I WOULD recommend it to friends and family. Review: Perfect For Remote Printing to Non-Networked USB Printers - I have an older Multi-Function Printer (MFP) that expressly states it is a "non-network" printer, i.e. the manufacturer was too cheap to include the virtually ubiquitous networking features in the firmware. I want this printer on the other side of the room from my computer, with the other printer and a router. I bought and returned two other devices, one which was more expensive and one which was less expensive than this one. The issue I had with the ones I returned was a few days after setup when I went to print the computer said the printer was offline. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to re-establish connection. This device includes an Internet Printing Protocol server so it acts like a real print server. All the computers in the house can print to the remote printer without installing any special software. The printer is not being shared from one of the computers. The setup instructions are confusing, in fact no setup is needed. Follow this instead: 1. Hook up the printer, then plug the remote server into the network. 2. Hop onto your router and find out what DHCP gave the print server as an IP address. 3. Enter http://the_ip_address into your computer. The printer web page will pop up showing the printer port url. 4. For Windows: Add a new network device, say "device not found" so it asks you to put in a device, copy/paste the IPP port into the box, then when it asks what printer pick the correct one. You're done! One minor thing: Windows will show your printer as "unknown" on whatever port you entered. I just edited the registry and put the name of my printer in. Highly recommended. Worth every penny. Regarding speed, if you are looking for a fast file transfer setup then buy a NAS box or a SAN. This thing is meant for lower-speed peripherals like printers. I have not tried to scan, the only thing I needed from this was remote printing. ## Features - 10/100/1000 GIGABIT USB DEVICE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003AM0DNY | | Best Sellers Rank | #672,655 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #24,857 in Computer Networking (Electronics) | | Brand | Silex Technology | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 21 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00815608001386 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, USB | | Item Dimensions | 2.36 x 3.94 x 1.1 inches | | Item Weight | 11.04 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2.36 x 3.94 x 1.1 inches | | Manufacturer | SILEX | | Memory Storage Capacity | 3000 GB | | Model Number | E1195 | | UPC | 815608001386 132017611358 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Silex Technology - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00815608001386 - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet, USB - **Item Weight:** 11.04 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.36 x 3.94 x 1.1 inches - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 3000 GB - **Software Update Supported to Date:** unknown - **UPC:** 815608001386 132017611358 ## Images ![10/100/1000 GIGABIT USB DEVICE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DnLWVVmtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used to extend a cabled (data) connection to an iOS device on a Mac?** A: I do not really know. Please note that there os no support for OS X El Capitan. I imagine that, even if you get to connect to your iOS device the Silex would not communicate with it. **Q: I don't see Linux listed in the *supported* operating systems but are there Linux drivers out there for this device?** A: No, Silex does not support Linux drivers for USB ports. **Q: Does this provide power to connected USB devices (e.g. charging) or it's a data only connection?** A: It can supply 1amp of current to the USB ports, which is not sufficient for most of today's devices. I wouldn't use this as a charger ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Results! *by D***B on January 26, 2013* All my gear is upstairs with my four year old MacBook Pro while my new Mac Mini is downstairs in my entertainment center.

It has been several months since Apple updated OS X to El Capitan and Silex has not provided a compatible version. They blame Apple for the delay. They have sold me a relatively expensive device that now will have to be replaced by a new server, hopefully from a company that supports its customers. Do not buy as tomorrow they might be unable to support upgrades of your preferred OS. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/431700-10-100-1000-gigabit-usb-device](https://www.desertcart.at/products/431700-10-100-1000-gigabit-usb-device) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
