PCIE USB 3.0 Expansion Card 7 Ports (5X Type-A and 2 USB C) PCIe Card Super Speed PCI Express USB3 Hub Controller Adapter for Windows 11/10/8/7/XP and MAC OS/Linux

There were no reviews when I first looked at this product so I was very skeptical about purchasing but for the first price of $18 along with an additional 10% off I had grab it for all it's offering. It raised in price after the first batch sold which is the norm with supply and demand so I'm happy I was an early adapter. Definitely a lot better than the Internal USB 3.0 HUB that I finally had to throw out after 6 years. This one is a lot sleeker, has a minimalistic aesthetic to it along with providing you with addition USB room. However, certain USB devices will not get enough power to run properly using this hub. For example, my Xbox Wireless Adapter will get power for ten minutes before automatically turning off, I just switched a random jump drive in my PC for it. External Drives work pretty well and don't give me that problem so it may be a software conflict between the hub and my wireless adapter. But overall a nice alternative to a MOBO with a few USB Ports or for people like me that like to have more than needed. Also for those wanting to use this hub for USB C displays, this will not work at all as it doesn't provide enough power just giving a heads-up. The additional USB C port are a godsend since cases with USB C ports are more expensive and some motherboards like mine only have 1 USB C Ports that I used for an external drive before getting this hub. Definitely a cheap and effective way to add USB C ports to your PC without the premium price point and the speeds are equal to what you'll get on your motherboard. Also, it doesn't require a SATA Cable to get up and running which is what a lot of USB Hubs need to get powered on.

This PCI-E expansion card has been a fantastic addition to my desktop. Installation was straightforward, and it was recognized immediately by my system without the need for additional drivers. The combination of 2 USB-C and 5 USB-A ports offers versatile connectivity options, accommodating a range of devices from external drives to peripherals. Data transfer speeds are consistent and fast, matching the performance of my motherboard's native USB 3.0 ports. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient solution for expanding USB capabilities.

Installed into an empty PCI-E slot on a Lenovo IdeaCentre. The card was recognized by the OS (W11 Home). Installed the drivers. Seems like a great idea, in principle. The USB ports carry only power, no data. I checked the seating multiple times - seems that the card cannot be properly seated and installed as the card does not line up properly. I reseated it to check again. Drivers recognized and ONE USB 3.2 port carries data. everything else simply carries power. Not sure if the card is simply defective, but to me seems like a waste of money. ********************* July 25, 2023 update: After having an issue with the first board, customer service reached out to offer a replacement. All issues listed above have been corrected, and the replacement is working flawlessly. Surprisingly fast and responsive customer service definitely warrants and updated review.

The orientation of the USB ports, perpendicular to the mounting bracket, may mean that the opening in the case, AT the bracket, is too narrow. I had to widen the opening on my own case, in order to allow the cables to be plugged into the ports on the card. Otherwise, the card was easy to install, and I've had no problems... EXCEPT that on my Win7 system, it keeps telling me that I ought to plug the USB3 devices into a USB3 card... so I might not be getting actual USB3 connectivity with this card... but I purchased THIS card, due to the same "error" message with a different card, so the problem may be a limitation or other problem with Win7, or my mother board. Install the card first, then the drivers, because the installation requires the card to be present in order to install.

Ordered this card to install on a new HP Z4 G4 Workstation running Win 10 Pro Workstation. Install was easy no issues including loading the supplied drivers via DVD. However, the card would not recognize or connect to anything except my mouse and keyboard and those were unstable. Following the manufacturers troubleshooting steps I uninstalled the card and drivers and re-installed in a different slot on the MB. Same bad results. Thought I was going to have to return the card as defective/incompatible. Then I checked the reviews here on Amazon to see if anyone else had had the same problem and saw where a previous reviewer had warned not to install the drivers supplied with the card. They were right! Once I uninstalled the supplied drivers and rebooted using only Microsoft's drivers everything works like magic! Great card, highly recommend if you need one, but save yourself a lot of trouble and DO NOT install the supplied drivers. Thanks, again to the previous reviewer because without your review I'd have had to return the an excellent card. Update: 01/17/2023 - I have had such great performance and no trouble with this card since my original purchase that I have ordered a second one to install in my new HP Z8 G4 Workstation.

製品が更新され新しいものはUSB3.0から3.2になっているようです。そりゃ３．２の方がいいですが、値段は７割。端子が不足で別に３．２でなくてもいいって人にはねらい目かな。つないで２か月、今のところつないだだけで認識して特に問題なし。

Honestamente tenía miedo de comprarlo e instalarlo en mi PC, tenía miedo de que fallara e hiciera corto y perdiera lo que he invertido en ella Lo necesité ya que, quería conectar el Oculus y no desconectarlo, pensaba que tal vez no me reconocería el VR, sin embargo, todo lo que tengo conectado lo detecta sin problemas, no necesité instalar Drivers Me sorprendió realmente Bueno

Reçu dans le délai annoncé. Installation très simple. On enfiche la carte dans un slot libre. On demarre le PC et on installe le driver fourni. C'est parfait et cela fonctionne au poil. Je recommande à ceux qui manque de port USB. On n'en a jamais assez.

Valido funciona

Très bon et à racheté bientôt fonctionné très bien
