This review is from: Silverstone PCI-E to USB 3.0 Add-On Card Model SST-EC04-P
Pros:
Finally, my USB 3.0 drive array is stable!
Small size
Has internal 3.0 header plug
Cons:
None
Overall Review:
My Intel MoBo has a Renesas chipset built-in, but still, nothing connected via 3.0 was stable. I always got the dreaded disconnect/reconnect. Not anymore! This one also appears as Renesas, but works! The RAID-1 drive array and Lexar MicroSD card reader both perform flawlessly, and I'm seeing sustained 130MB/sec file transfers on large files, which seems to be limited by the external array's capabilities.Highly recommend!
I have noticed that the SD reader gets quite warm during use, and since heat = power, I'm glad this card is externally powered!
