Pros: Beautiful little card, works great after an hour of forum surfing and found the solution.

Cons: W7 64bit on Asus P7H55, i5, 8GB DDR3. Wanted to power the front USB 3 ports on the Antec HTPC build for the son/daughter-in-law. Corrupted drivers on disc, went to Orico's site and downloaded the latest. They installed correctly, but in Device manager the device wasn't starting. Others have said on other forums about random USB 3.0 cards and some older MBs that the 2.0x1 slot will not allow card to start, thus the "cannot start" error. I ended up sticking this card in the 2.0x16 slot and it was able to start and function properly.

Overall Review: There is a driver much newer on VIA's site that worked for this card. My 2 star rating has no reflection on Newegg's super service, but with the corrupted driver disc, the hour I wasted solving this issue, and for another company having ancient drivers, this is for Orico.
