100+MB/sec from hard drive low profile bracket more usb3 ports than most other cards


Uses M2 slot. Has activity LEDs.



Plugged it into my hackintosh (10.5.7), and it was recognized right away as Firewire 800, with no driver installation needed. Works with my hard drive and Griffin FW audio device (I understand audio devices are especially picky). I don't have a FW800 device to try it with, however. Has internal pin header for your cases FW400 connector. Comes with brackets for both standard and low-profile cases.

This board installed quickly and was automatically configured by Windows 11. All standard usb ports are occupied and function nominally. Have not used USB-C ports yet but will soon and expect the same result.


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

- 7 USB 3.0 ports on an x1 card - Sata instread of Molex Power - Instantly recognized by Debian Linux and WIndows 10 Pro - Works reliably when passed through to a VM using VFIO

Provides fast connection for an external USB 3.0 drive to my FreeNAS machine.



Used my 500Gb M.2 from my ASRock 990fx, Booted from it without setting anything!
