USB 3.0 7-Port Ext PCIe Host Adapter

Even years later, this USB Card is still working & doing what it does best. Transfer data over USB Type A to many flash drives at once.

Easy to install Driver and card. Must have for those who stream.

My new PC came with 6 usb ports which would seem plenty but as anyone knows these days everything connects usb to a desktop so external blueray drive, headphones, mouse, keyboard, camera, plus about 4 other items on it needless to say I ran out of ports fast. Bought this plugged it in and Microsoft automatically had it working (way to go Windows). Then I decided to try the driver they provided and OH BOY. The driver was glitching the usage of the usb card one moment it worked the next it didn't. It even effected things like Watching Youtube or Twitch. I uninstalled the driver restarted and let Windows reinstall its driver and perfection was back an I have no complaints now. If you need a USB card get one like this one and just put it is but please don't use the driver disk unless Windows doesn't find one for it.

I have 6 large external hard drives connected to USB ports on 3 host cards in my computer. As my desktop has aged, it's gotten harder to keep the system booting with all of those external drives attached. So, I finally got this USB 3.0 card with its own driver, which solved ALL of my problems! My only complaint is that it takes a Molex 4-pin power cord to work [NOT INCLUDED] , which I had to get @https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G1FB5WC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1My question is - for $35, why didn't they include the power cord as well???RECOMMENDED ONLY if you understand that you need a 4-pin Molex extension cable as well!

Cold as fire baby hot as iceIf you've every been to heavenThis is twice as nice.Good price it works well once the drivers were installed.I hate external usb dongle things what in the world they suck.Gotta get that solid and stable high speed internal pcie x1 usb port expansion deal thing.If you buy this congrats to you, hope enjoy it as much as me.

The supplied driver comes on a CD, which isn't always available these days. Luckily, VIA supplies the latest driver to their chipsets online. URLs aren’t allowed in reviews but you can google “via-labs driver” for official driver downloads from VIA’s site (VIA_XHCI_Driver_V5.60B_AP.zip).That said, the card itself is great. It's a quick way to add a bunch of USB 3.0 ports on the cheap. On the downside, I had to buy a Molex to SATA power adapter, because my system was too new to have any Molex - quick fix, but just something to be aware of. Additionally, the vertical orientation of the ports might clash with your specific back plate on your case - the top edge of some of the ports may be blocked depending on which slot you put it in (I put mine on the very top, where my case causes a slight obstruction to one of the ports), but this isn't a huge deal considering I still have 6 ports at my disposal, and could just move it to another slot if it bothered me enough.Great purchase either way, just please stop putting drivers on CDs in 2019.

turned on my computer the other day and there was a "USB short " quickly i found out it was this drive causing it..... hopefully its just a one off but the seller contacted me and sent me a replacement

Works well with slight difficulty working the male USB plug into the card due to clearance issues with my HP computer. Requires careful attention to board position when installing to get this right.As of now the required power cord is not included. Here is the link to the Amazon place to find the correct cord for my HP:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GK8SYCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1For my HP computer it took: StarTech.com LP4SATAFM12 12-Inch SATA to Molex LP4 Power Cable AdapterIn any case, a power cord should be included if it is "Required" to work. I have been told by their rep that they are considering adding the cord to the package.Other than this or is working properly and the customer service has been exceptional.
