TROPRO PCI-Express 4X to USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) 2-Port Type C Expansion Card Asmedia Chipset for Windows 7/8/10/Linux/MAC OS 10.14 – PCI Express USB C Card(2X Type-C Port)

Overall Review: Adds to USB-C connectors, easy install. I popped It in and was recognized upon boot and worked perfect in Windows. Used to connect Oculus Quest 2, tested out okay with the link cable.

Pros: Easy install into my PC Just works with Windows 10 Compatible with Oculus Quest and link cables, tests out at 1.4Gb/s with the official Oculus Link cable Should provide enough power over USB C with the SATA connector to keep the Quest charged during play sessions. USB A adapters don't quite have the power delivery to prevent my Quest from slowly discharging over a long play session connected to my PC.

Cons: Feels like the USB connectors are really close to to the edge of the case opening when installed but they are raised up and it doesn't seem to impact plugging in the cables, PartyLink 16ft or Oculus Link, that I tested.

Overall Review: Maybe not the cheapest way to add a pair of USB-C outlets to a PC but definitely worth it in my opinion as it just seems to work. Good way to connect a Quest to a Gaming PC to work in link mode as it will support high connection speeds and adequate power delivery for Quest, and I presume, Quest 2 headsets.

Pros: I was able to install this device in my X79 board (I used an X16 Slot - fitment is fine). Able to boot right up to Ubuntu - no setup required - kernel has the Asmedia drivers or related. Comes with a low profile bracket in case you want to use it with SFF. Black PCB and shield are attractive!

Cons: I'm not super huge into the SATA external power but you gotta power the card somehow and I don't know of any more elegant solution (choices being sata, pcie, molex, floppy :shrugemoji:) Not a critique of the product just expansion cards in general.

Overall Review: Plug and play is nice. I assume if I had used this with a Windows 10 device then Windows would have generic drivers for it / pick up the Asmedia from updates. Speeds are as advertised (USB 3.1 Gen 2 type C). Is nice to add a little modern convenience to my X79 platform. Tested with a Samsung T5 external SSD - transfer speeds w/in spec. It's fast!

Overall Review: This USB-C PCI-E card works perfectly with my devices. I am using it on Windows 10 and it worked plug and play. I did not have to install drivers manually from the CD. It comes with a standard size bracket as well as a shorter one for smaller cases. Please be aware that this will not fit in a PCI-E 2x slot. You need a PCI-E 4x or larger slot to use it.

Pros: Should work great. Has large and small firm factor mounting options. Got confused on the actual format of the plug, turns out it's usb C. The usb numbers confuse me. Pretty sure they confuse everybody. Comes with a driver disc so yeah. Awesome.

Overall Review: Good, I'd say. Needed it to access a vm on a server tp conect it to internet. Should work fine.

Pros: Didn't need to install any drivers. Small profile. Takes motherboard power so you know it's getting the juice it needs.

Cons: I had less lag with AirLink and a good router than the Oculus Link cable plus this card. Don't know if that was the fault of the card or not, since there are so many factors.

Overall Review: Good price and does the job.

Pros: The card works well as a USB-C provider, delivering decent speeds.

Cons: The ports are very low on the backplate meaning that the PC case can get in the way. I had to "edit" some of my USB-C cables so that they would plug in fully.

Overall Review: Functionally it works fine. Just a shame that the physical design is flawed.
