No issues once everything was installed

* perfectly makes use of the only PCIe 2.0 x1 slot on my older motherboard * super fast network speeds


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.

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


Build quality looks good. Works with every drive tried. Will work as a single drive adapter as long as a compatible 4X slot is available on an older motherboard.

Cheap and fast. Used with a crucial NVMe, solid for almost a year. Used as main drive for capture one and photoshop.

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





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

- Ultimately works and does what it claims to do - Depending on your GPU displayPort I/O, can upgrade fully to Thunderbolt DP



I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to install the correct drivers as I don't have a disc drive on this pc. but windows was able to get it done without me doing anything.

Does exactly what is advertised guality build
