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.



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, works as expected.

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


Used this to expand the number of drives in a smallish Ubuntu home server. Still testing, but seems flawless so far and transparent to the user - just more drives available. All I did was power down, plug it in the PCIe 3.0 slot, attach a couple drives, and power up. Drives were recognized immediately and accessible like all the others. They claim max throughput of 277MB/s but so far both drives tested at 500 MB/s+ the same as when plugged into the mobo ports. I assume the limited speed might occur if multiple drives were accessed at once. Since it's a server and I'm using this to add SSDs, i doubt I will ever notice any slow downs. Bonus: the 6 provided SATA cables have locking connectors and are of a reasonable length.




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

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

Easy and works. I used it with HP workstation and an Intel 600p NVME m.2 drive. Comes with both full-height and low-profile brackets.


It works well!
