Blazing Fast Download Speeds with my on board port I was maxing at 20-25Mb/s with this I'm getting the full scope of my ISP

Easy to install and worked for me once I got a few glitches on my computer squared away.

plug and play, came with everything you need, no drivers

Easy install, works as expected.

Build quality looks good. Works with every drive tried. Will work as a single drive adapter as long as a compatible 4X slot is available on an older motherboard.

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

- 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.

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.

I have a P67 board with pcie 2.0 from an i5- 2500 non k cpu and a Toshiba XG5 256GB NVMe drive, this drive has stated speeds of 2700 MB/s read and 1050 MB/s write. Because my system is only pcie 2.0 i loose half of the theoretical speed so I get 1500 MB/s read and the stated 1050 MB/s write. In order for the card to be seen by the OS your bios needs to absolutely be UEFI, otherwise it will NOT be detected, i had to flash my mobo bios to latest bios which was uefi and then inserted the required NVMe files in the bios. In order to get pcie 3.0 on the 1155 socket you need to have 3000 series i5 and i7, lower cpus from 3000 series are only pcie 2.0! The card also has 4 green LEDs that blink nicely when the drive is being accessed. In theory , after inserting the NVMe modules in the bios it should be bootable, but for me it doesn't work, it is detected in bios as PATA SS device, but no dice. For older systems that are not UEFI natively, only Samsung 950pro is bootable in LEGACY mode! I am upgrading my rig to H170 + i3-7100 so no more issues.

I needed a PCIE usb card with a Renesas USB controller for my Nvidia 3D Vision emitter. Im on a z570, which introduces some timing related issues that cause the emitters timing to drift. The only way I found to fix it, was to get a Startech PCIE usb card with a NEC or Renesas controller. Startech was the only brand with reasonably priced options, although, even this two port card was more than I wanted to spend. It works though, I spent days trying to find a solution to that problem after upgrading from a z370 to a z570. I think the listing says its NEC, but windows shows it as Renesas, it doesnt matter because either will work.
