Easy to install. Works on a pciE 1.1 slot and gives 2.5Gigabit connection. Actual range was in the 1.7500 but still fine tuning my home fiber network.

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.


Easy install, works as expected.


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


Even on an older motherboard it was still detected.

- Was able to just plug and play with existing drives/cables/ZFS pools facilitating the update on my home server/NAS system. - Performance seems as good/better than with old MoBo - No Linux issues




- Plug and play- Does not necessarily need the sata power to work- Short bracket included for small form factor PCs


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


Works perfectly put of the box Best pricing I could find


It works well!
