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

Installs easily and works perfectly.

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.

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.

Had a problem fitting card in slot, made it work by cutting away bracket on PC. I'm only using the USB 3 ports. When copying many files to a drive, in mid-copy ALL of the drives (even those not involved) will go offline and then come back within about a minute. The copy has failed, of course. Sometimes the drives will disconnect randomly overnight, but are re-connected when I check in the morning. Have tried manufacturer's driver and Microsoft's, which I'm currently using. I also have the power-saving option turned off in the Properties of each port, and this did seem to help, as the random dis- and re-connects seem fewer. When they work, I'm satisfied. When the don't it's very frustrating.

I've been using the extra USB c's for game controllers and headsets and I'm able to play time sensitive games flawlessly.

I have a desktop server that I wanted to add some USB ports to my server rack on my keystone panel. I needed about 3-5 USB ports for this on the back end of the server. This product seemed to fit the description. Setup was simple, the server runs Linux and it recognized it just fine. I purchased some 6ft USB A to USB A cables from Cable Matters (pretty reputable manufacturer). All 5 cables plugged in. These went from the PCI-E card to the keystone panel and that panel had a double sided female USB A coupler. Nothing fancy, just whatever I bought on Amazon. I tested out with my SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD thumb drive. It gets power, the light came on but the server didn't recognize it as being connected. I checked logs to verify all this. - I started troubleshooting. I first checked the USB Drive. I plugged it directly into the PCI-E card, and it works. - I then checked to see if maybe it was the coupler, or the cable. I started testing with different USB A cables. I tried a different 2 meter cable (didn't work), a 1 meter cable (didn't work) and the finally when I tried an 8 inch cable it worked. So I thought maybe its the cable. - I plugged the original Cable Matters USB A cable into the front of the server with the coupler and it worked. I have come to the conclusion that the card will only work with shorter cables. Longer cables still provide power but it doesn't seem that data is able to be transferred. Pretty disappointed

The PCIe USB Adapter Card seemed like the right fit for my Corsair 570x. While it shows very good quality and durable materials and works very well for the USBC small ports, unfortunately, it does not fit for the big USB ports, the head plugs are slightly (a few mms) bigger then the thin entrance provided by the Corsair Case for them to fit properly, therefore pushing me to having to buy another Card with horizontal ports instead of vertical ones. Too bad cause I really liked this card.

I was running into issue after issue in my streaming software with USB tree hub issues and not being able to have two simultaneous USB 3.0 video sources being input. I ordered this to "create" another USB tree, and haven't had an issue since. Install: As easy as I imagined. I built my computer so installing this took maybe three minutes. Simply took off my sideview glass panel, removed a bracket, installed into the PCI slot, and that's it. (installed in an NZXT H510 Elite case) Quality: No complaints here. Initial impressions was that it felt solid. I've tested other hubs like this in the past and they just felt flimsy. This feels strong and the PCB doesn't have much give to it. The input area is well centered and the connection points feel strong and do not have any wiggle in them. There are no gaps in between this and the brackets on the back of my case. To everyone having issues with the card not lining up, it is NOT this things fault, it is your CASE. Speeds: Again, no complaints here. I tested each individual port by transferring some large files and the speeds were exactly as I expected them to be on my PCI 4.0 motherboard. Overall, I highly recommend. Easy to install. Solid build quality. Fast.

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

Funktioniert wirklich super. Unter Windows 11 wurden keine Treiber benötigt. Einfach eingesteckt, Funktioniert einwandfrei.

Valido funciona

The product works as advertised. No extra no less. I am yet to test the usb-c ports. But all the usb-a ports are working properly. The card does not require any additional power supply. The card easily gets recognized on a windows 11 computer without any additional driver installation. Definitely recommended product.
