Already dead... don't buy. 12/01/2013
This review is from: StarTech.com PEXUSB3S4V 4 Port PCI Express PCIe SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Controller Card Adapter with UASP - SATA Power - USB 3 PCIe Card
Pros:
See below.
Cons:
Bought this in on October 8, 2013 (Dec.1 2013 as I write this). Seemed to work okay sometimes with Win 7 x64, worse in WinXp x32. Sometimes things would be recognized, often times not. If they were, they were not recognized as USB 3.0 (I have a few things that are the new spec.). Now the thing is dead. Things plugged in get power but not recognized by system. So, at this point it's junk. BTW; I tried un-installing, re-installing the thing as well as running the latest drivers - nada.
Overall Review:
As others have mentioned, if there is a ridge or rim around the opening for the slot where this card plugs in (usually the first slot on the MB) you won't be able to plug USB connectors in all the way. I found that with a small X-Acto knife you can cut the edge of the plastic back enough so that the connector plugs in all the way. Easier than modifying the computer chassis.
