SIIG SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Bay Hub+Host Kit Model JU-H40411-S1

Pros: Looks nice, fits nice. Sometimes it works...

Cons: Sometimes it don't. System locks up before completing startup.
Have removed it completely.

Maybe it will work on 8, already ordered.

Windows 7 64bit Pro. Asus P7P55D-E PRO. Crucial 256MB SSDs.
All of the above from NEWEGG.

Other Thoughts: Have 2 USB 3.0 on rear, but need some on front, Have 3.0 flash drives, 3.0 WD 2TB external for frequent backups.

Pros: Very convinient, front & back ports. Install went really smooth. My external hard drive isn't very fast, so transfer speed is down.

Cons: first board was DOA, RMAd it, received another one very quickly, with out any hasle.
2nd one worked for a while, now it's freezing up the computer. Most likely the drivers. I reinstalled windows several times, and the computer always works fine, until I install the latest drivers from their website, then it freezes. Can't restore to previous state, can't uninstall drivers, can't do anything until windows is reinstalled.

Other Thoughts: I gave up on using it. Went out and bought a mobo with built in USB. (for about the same price as this kit!) that took care of my problems.

Pros: Fast..very fast. Front panel usb 3.0! Easy upgrade to extend the life of my X58 board. Pain free replacement.

Cons: First one got buggy after 9 months. Hoping my second lasts longer than the first.

Other Thoughts: I started to experience a lot of the problems others did after nine months of usage. Occasionally it would freeze during during large file transfers. Sometimes it would stop responding and require a reboot. All my problems were related to the front hub. I never used the back ports. But man this sucker is fast. Sustained read speeds of 210MB/sec and write speeds of 113MB/sec. That is nowhere near the theoretical max but I still think it's pretty good. My RMA experience with SIIG was painless. I went to their website and filled out a problem report. I had an RMA number in a couple days. I have been testing the new one for a week now without hiccups. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pros: USB 3.0 adapter card works well and continues in use.

Cons: Front panel died after about a week. No lights, nothing. Looks like no power to the front panel. I haven't had time to troubleshoot, as the back panel supports my USB 3.0 backup drive just fine, so no need to fix it (yet).

Other Thoughts: Paid top dollar for something that appears to be a chancy piece of kit from the other reviews. Will try something else next time.

Pros: The third unit I received finally seems to work all the way around.

Cons: I had to return this twice, because I was getting power surges on the first unit, and USB 3 didn't seem to work. I was able to get it replaced through New Egg. However, by the time I got the replacement unit and found out that USB 3 devices only worked on two of the front four ports, the 30 days had passed, so I had to get it replaced directly through SIIG through their warrantly replacement.

Other Thoughts: What happened to quality assurance? I tried a different brand USB 3 adapter before this one, and neither of the first two worked, so I returned that for a refund. Also had to return a blu-ray burner I bought from New Egg, and some memory I got through a different vendor.

Pros: Great idea, nice build quality

Cons: Just doesn't work properly, devices have issues when connected to rear port. connection of the bay to the internal port just makes this worse. I have a nimbie BR ripper burned and it won't work on this card properly - for example drive is detected but media control is not. works fine on USB 2 and other USB 3 reports

Other Thoughts: Don't buy.

Pros: Its USB 3.0, great access from the front panel.

Cons: This device seems to have some big power issues. This is exactly what I needed so I took a chance as it had 4 eggs. Well now reading the reviews I see I am not the only one with power issues.
I has power surge issues and would sometimes freeze with lights on until a system reboot and eventually just fried. Not sure I even want to waste time getting it RMA'd through the Man.

Pros: They're fast when they work. About half the time.

Cons: Bought 2 of these for home desktops. On mine (EVGA motherboard: P55LE) the card is seen by Win7-64bit about half the time. The other half I get a constant chorus of dings meaning it's installed then uninstalled, seen, then unseen by Win7. Put card in a PCI16 slot, no difference. On my wife's computer (Gigabyte motherboard: GA-E7AUM-DS2H) the computer freezes on entering Win7-32bit about half the time. Both cards have latest bios and driver updates. SIIG support basically said "sorry, there's nothing we can do." No replacements or refunds were offered.

Pros: Absolutely none

Cons: Problems since day one. Random disconnects, power surge warnings, knocking my usb drive recognitions off the map and now totally dead. Siig Support is absolutely dismal. Cannot get them to rma their defective product. They keep wanting me to jump thru all their dirver updates which I already tried and doing firmware updates for a 32 bit Windows 7 and I keep telling them I have 64 bit.

Other Thoughts: Only gave one star simply because I had to.

Pros: This unit is simple and easy to install. Drivers installed without a problem on a MSI m/b 890fxa. Loaded all ports transferred files from key to key then to hard drive. Unit works great!

Cons: Pricey... otherwise 5 stars

Other Thoughts: quick delivery from Newegg. I love that.
