ORICO PVU3-5O2U 7 Port Desktop usb 3.0 PCI - Express Card 5 - Port Outside and 2 Ports for USB3.0 Front Panel Inside PCI - E USB3.0 card ORICO PVU3-5O2U 7 Port Desktop usb 3.0 PCI - Express Card 5 - Port Outside and 2 Ports for USB3.0 Front Panel Inside PCI - E USB3.0 card

Pros: Most number of ports I've seen. Anywhere.. fast transfer, no crashes, was easy to install (I'm a tech), and I'm just running XP with it. I even have another 2 port USB 3 card still installed it's coexisting with. It should install even easier in Windows 7 though. I love that the black matches my black case, although I never see the back of it. :) Oh and it shipped directly from Newegg with ShopRunner "free" 2-day shipping, NOT from China. This wasn't clear on the purchase page.

Cons: I can't think of anything except they say it doesn't support Windows 8 and Mac. I can see where it might not support a Mac, but Windows 8? That's kind of weird.

Other Thoughts: I've been wanting a USB 3.0 card with a max. # of ports for some time. I had bought a very similar Sedna brand card directly from China because I couldn't find one sold here. Turns out it was DOA. I had to go through this whole e Bay returns headache to get them to return it. I still haven't got my refund yet and it's been in the mail for like 2 weeks now. I wish I would have known this was here. Here's a tip from me: Don't buy anything direct from China unless you try really hard to find it here, because returns are extremely difficult. Many times they'll just claim they didn't get the package, or they'll leave the package at the China post office and it gets returned to you a month later because it sat too long. Don't trust them if you can help it.

Pros: I just put this in my ASUS Sabertooth 2.0 MOBO and it works fine. I had it previously in an ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe (DDR2) Board. It gives the added ports I need even though the ASUS board has quite a few on its own. Currently running an external drive off of this.

Cons: None

Pros: It works

It uses the VLI 800 chipset!

Cons: The language barrier in the instructions. Driver CD is basically useless as ALL driver CDs that are included with any product.

Other Thoughts: Buyers should not be able to rate their own "Tech level" at high when they cannot simply figure out how to install hardware. It does not take a genius to look at the card and see the VLI chip and put 2 and 2 together. VLI chip? then maybe i should visit the VLI website to get the drivers!

It is the same concept when you install a video card. How many times have you actually used the included driver CD? Don't you just go directly to Nvidia or ATI website and get the latest drivers because you know its a Nvidia chip or Ati chip that is the brains of the card...........

I brought 2 of these from D Extreme before Newegg stocked them and they work as advertised, along with 2 of the smaller 4 port model. They all use the VLI chipset! I wish Newegg had started stocking Orico products sooner and they are cheaper and i do not have to wait 2 weeks for them to arrive on a slow boat from Hong Kong.

For those of you who still cannot figure it out with "high tech levels" If your card have a VLI chip go to VLI website and download the VL800 & VL801 Superspeed USB Host Controller Driver 1.90A

Pros: None

Cons: works hit or miss

Other Thoughts: I installed an tried the drivers on the CD. It works sometimes and other times not.

Tried to email company and got no response.

Pros: Price, speed

Cons: Wasn't easy to install

Other Thoughts: I originally rated one star because I couldn't get to work. I e-mailed tech on a whim before I used as paper weight. They responded quickly and sent me an e-mail with new drivers and directions in english as close as possible or at least I could follow. It finally installed and worked but my impatience led to clicking on more things than needed and installing chinese anti-virus software that i needed tech to walk me through so I could uninstall (all in chinese). But product is working great and transfered 30gb in 6 minutes between drives. Cnat beat the price. I have 4 3TB drives running my media center (PC) and works great.

Pros: Was a great price and a lot of 3.0 ports

Cons: I am not the most tech savvy. But I did install the previous card which had 2 usb 3.0 ports. I needed more ports for my external hard drives. I unplugged the old card put the new one in but windows 7 did not recognize. I tried to install drivers from the cd but couldn't find the product# because was mostly in Chinese and numbers didn't match up. Found a driver that seemed to match a description and installed but still never recognized. Tried several usb hard drives and a wireless adapter but no power never recognized. I sent email to factory but haven't heard back. Only been a few hours. Hopefully they will provide a solution.

Other Thoughts: If you are going to market in US make directions in English. Should be plug and play with operating system.
