Easy install, works as expected.

It works fine.


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




- Was able to just plug and play with existing drives/cables/ZFS pools facilitating the update on my home server/NAS system. - Performance seems as good/better than with old MoBo - No Linux issues




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


- The heat sink plate is WELL CONSTRUCTED and nice and thick! Make sure you mount your M.2 NVMe drives and then place the heat sink adhesive on the drives and then mount and screw the plate in place. - Note: the board has a +12V fan connector on it that is not used in this variant. Riitop sells another that is a fan-based model were a fan (in place of the plate) would normally mount. - The kit comes with a decent screwdriver you need to install the heat sink plate. I have sooo many screwdrivers now because I have ordered similar kits.

The card works on my z77 gigabyte board. Cloned my raid ssd drives over to the 960 evo. Has worked flawlessly, no issues with stability.

- Ultimately works and does what it claims to do - Depending on your GPU displayPort I/O, can upgrade fully to Thunderbolt DP

I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to install the correct drivers as I don't have a disc drive on this pc. but windows was able to get it done without me doing anything.

Fast, Reliable
