500mp/s AV Adapters

I've installed 3 of the Trendnet TPL-401E adapters in the house.  They work great so far.  Significantly faster than the wireless network and so far, only been a month, they seem to be really solid.

One draw back is that they only have one port.  So, I installed a 5-port netgear 1gb switch with each one!

8-port in the my office with NAS systems

Started having a small problem.  I started moving large amounts of data, almost 1TB, through the AV adapters, after about 30 minutes they die.  I unplugged them, let them cool, and they came back up fine.  This happened twice before I quit trying.  Bottom line for me is, they work great with normal activity, but using an external USB drive to move large amounts of data between machines seems to be the best option.
