I plugged in two drives and there was no setup required! Pure plug and play and the speed is limited to your PCIE available bandwidth.


Working great with 4 m.2 NVME drives in my TrueNAS server.

Good installation instructions Installation disk or website download options offered Plug and play capable. My 1st PCI-E card Attractive bubble packaging?

Build quality High Speed Works great


As pictured in top crystal disk mark, it's hitting full pcie 4.0 speeds. Bottom picture is a 970 evo plus at pcie 3.0. Was getting about 1-2μs less latency than my top slot adapter card and 20-30 MB/s faster Q1T1 RND4k reads.


It really was plug and play. For some reason, my HP Reverb G2 had quit working with the usb-c to usb-a 3.0 adapter several months ago. I literally just hooked this up, and now my VR headset works again on my old computer. Pretty happy about that.

Easy installation



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.



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.

Just plug in and it worked
