Works well and really like that I dont have to hook up an external SATA power source. Speeds are good and match my other USB ports on my mobo.

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.




- 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.

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

I have been lazy and didn't even put on the heatsink properly, so it is without heatsink, but I think my cooling is fine anyway, but the product seems to work great!

Easy install, works as expected.


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








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.

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