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.




- 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

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.

Easy install, works as expected.

Simple Installation. Comes with a screwdriver and a screw. Truly Plug & Play with Windows 10 if your Motherboard already has support for NVMe. Does not even look for a driver, it just works. Great way to add fast NVMe drives.





- Works exactly like it says right out of the box - Works even for old hardware

Easy to Install, Sturdy, fast speeds

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


My motherboard has only a single M.2 PCIe slot. I bought this card so as to be able to clone my current M.2 PCIe OS drive to a new/different M.2 PCIe SSD. It worked fine for that.


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.
