Easy to install, the Realtek RTL 2185 drivers worked for me as someone stated above.

No driver needed in Windows



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.


- 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

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





-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.


I have a P67 board with pcie 2.0 from an i5- 2500 non k cpu and a Toshiba XG5 256GB NVMe drive, this drive has stated speeds of 2700 MB/s read and 1050 MB/s write. Because my system is only pcie 2.0 i loose half of the theoretical speed so I get 1500 MB/s read and the stated 1050 MB/s write. In order for the card to be seen by the OS your bios needs to absolutely be UEFI, otherwise it will NOT be detected, i had to flash my mobo bios to latest bios which was uefi and then inserted the required NVMe files in the bios. In order to get pcie 3.0 on the 1155 socket you need to have 3000 series i5 and i7, lower cpus from 3000 series are only pcie 2.0! The card also has 4 green LEDs that blink nicely when the drive is being accessed. In theory , after inserting the NVMe modules in the bios it should be bootable, but for me it doesn't work, it is detected in bios as PATA SS device, but no dice. For older systems that are not UEFI natively, only Samsung 950pro is bootable in LEGACY mode! I am upgrading my rig to H170 + i3-7100 so no more issues.


It works well!
