Has an interesting mini driver disk. I could not understand the readme that came with it, but the drivers for Win 11 Pro were simple to install. They are all from 2012. Windows Plug+Play uses driver from Jan. 2023, but is replaced. I have not seen them removed yet. Renesas installs USB 2.0 Hub, USB 3.0 Host Controller, USB 3.0 Hub, USB 3.0 Root Hub. There is also a green power light on the nearest edge of the card.

My new motherboard had only 4 SATA slots, so I ran out during the initial build (with zero NVME drives). So, I can now use my two optical drives (DVD and BluRay), which I know are passe, but I like having them hooked up! Board works great, no issues.



It keeps the sdds cool and easy to install. A thick plate covers the sdds to disapate heat.

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

easy install no drain of speed on a pcie 3.0 ssd worth it ---to get out of messing with those TINY screws down in a crowded case

Easy install, works as expected.



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


Installed m.2, plugged it in the PCI slot and fires it up. Drive showed up no fuss. Windows 11.





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.


Received quickly, looked over instructions, installed drivers, inserted card and restated. Took less than 10 minutes. So far so good.
