I agree, but my laptop only has a Ethernet 100M port... Meaning transfer won't go higher than something like 12,5 MB which is incredibly slow compared to usb 3.0.
And let's say that I'd prefer not to buy a Gigabit LAN to USB 3.0 adapter...
Ah - that's exactly what I did do to cope with a 10/100Mbs connection on a Dell laptop I was using for file transfer to a GigE equipped server. Cheap USB3.0->GigE adaptor worked really well via USB 3.0 (I got pretty much the same speeds as I get from a built-in GigE NIC on another device).
Even if you only have USB 2.0 connections you'll get much faster transfers than 100Mbs Ethernet in most cases.
