Excellent Cheap Solution

I should use a NAS to store my 100tb media collection but over the years I’ve just been adding USB external hard drives to an old PC which acts as server. They now number 15, and what with other USB devices, I was running out of external controller resources (USB 3 End Points) on the AM4 PC. This card has its own controller independent of the motherboard and I’ve plugged in seven of the drives into it via a hub, leaving the PC to handle everything else. It all works fine now and a cheap solution.

Didnt work with HP Reverb G2

I have given 5 stars because it works as advertised, but unfortunately for me it is no good. I bought to use with a HPReverb G2, if you own one and are looking to buy this item it didn’t work for me, your milage may vary, but while i got picture through the headset the audio would switch off every 4-5 seconds. If you do own one you know that the G2 is very picky with usb ports. I did speed tests on the card and it worked as advertised with and without the extra sata power, so if you are looking to buy just for extra ports and not for use with a HP Reverb G2, then go ahead.

No use at all.

When fitted it said software not intended for this device. Hardly a good start is it. Returned for refund.

Could not get it to work

I can't say if it is good or not as I could not get it to be recognized with MSI MAG Tomahawk Z690 DDR4 WIFI.Doesn't show up in UEFI. Tried all pcie slots, UEFI up to date.
