Works well and really like that I dont have to hook up an external SATA power source. Speeds are good and match my other USB ports on my mobo.




Maybe a Necessity if You Have a USB-C on Front Panel Header because no USB 3.2 GEN1 connector on motherboard. The PCI-E 1X to USB 3.2 GEN1 5Gbps 20pin Front Panel Header allows you to connect the USB-C front panel header to your PCI-E 1X slot

Used this to expand the number of drives in a smallish Ubuntu home server. Still testing, but seems flawless so far and transparent to the user - just more drives available. All I did was power down, plug it in the PCIe 3.0 slot, attach a couple drives, and power up. Drives were recognized immediately and accessible like all the others. They claim max throughput of 277MB/s but so far both drives tested at 500 MB/s+ the same as when plugged into the mobo ports. I assume the limited speed might occur if multiple drives were accessed at once. Since it's a server and I'm using this to add SSDs, i doubt I will ever notice any slow downs. Bonus: the 6 provided SATA cables have locking connectors and are of a reasonable length.


Even on an older motherboard it was still detected.

Easy install, works as expected.





- simple - functional - two brackets - inexpensive


-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu

plenty of ports. works well and didn't have to install drivers. windows did all the work. well built.



Doing a rebuild using a 25yr old motherboard with PCI/ISA bus. This PCI card is recognized by Win98 but drivers are not included with the product, are not all present on the Win98CD (original or Second Update) and links in the paperwork sent with the card no longer work (not really surprised after 25 years). Fortunately drivers are available at www.philscomputerlab.com/windows-98-usb-storage-driver.html in the file nusb36e.exe. Run the EXE under Win98 before installing the card. All Win98 drivers will load automatically upon powerup after card installation. Now I can use USB keys to move files rather than floppy disk or CD. Having fun playing Doom 2.
