PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card with 20 Gbps Bandwidth 7 USB Ports (4 USB Type-A and 3 Type-C Ports), PCI Express (PCIe) Expansion Card for Desktop PC

purchased to upgrade the USB ports on my nephews pc to support a capture card and works amazing. this product was very easy to install for him being a novice 17 year old. the price was very affordable.

Installation was a breeze. No configuration was required. Install it and it's ready to go. Highly recommended.

My PC is fairy current without a lot of extra hardware - Ryzen 7, 32GB RAM and a mild Video card (non-gamer here). I use my PC mostly for work (productivity apps) and admin'ing my homelab (mostly browser based). I simply wanted to get faster USB access than the 3.1 ports on my M/B provided. Putting the card in my PC made it instantly unstable. Not only did NOTHING (not even a simple mouse) work when connected to the ports, but UNPLUGGING ANYTHING from the card caused my system to lose video to a point where I'd have to turnoff my monitor and then back on to get it to re-sync. I plug USB devices in and out of my standard M/B ports almost daily and this NEVER happened until I added this card.

I had it for a year and it worked as advertised.In the last week it failed on me.The seller went out of their way to give full refund.4/5 for function and support.

No drivers needed. Windows 11. Installed, rebooted, and good to go.Everything I've plugged in any of the ports is instantly recognized and dear Windows 11 beeps to let me know.There are cheaper USB cards but these are current version USB, they're fast, and they work.My video card blocked the PCIe port so I installed an extender and this USB card worked!I bought two of these cards.They're not flimsy as others have said. At least mine aren't. The metal where the ports are is normal grade and thickness. I've worked with much more flimsy cards the last 40 years building PCs.You can see from the pics that the USB ports are a close fit, but in my case (literally), I carefully centered the card in the slots before securing the card. All USB cables I've plugged in fit no problem.

I needed this for my link cable to my Oculus Quest 3. It was easy to install and worked first time without any additional drivers needed in Windows 11.

I purchased this PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card with 7 USB ports (4 USB Type-A and 3 USB Type-C) on December 31st, 2022, and I’ve had a mixed experience with it.Initial Setup:When I first installed the card on my Windows 10 system, it didn’t work right out of the box. I had to tinker with it quite a bit, and even then, it was a hit-or-miss situation. This was somewhat frustrating, as I was expecting plug-and-play functionality. However, after upgrading to Windows 11, the card performed much better, almost working perfectly without any additional setup. This was a relief and a significant improvement over the Windows 10 experience.Performance:Once I got it working, the performance was as advertised. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds were impressive, with the card delivering the promised 20 Gbps bandwidth. This made file transfers and other data-intensive tasks much quicker and smoother.Build Quality and Design:The card’s design is decent, but there are a few concerns. The connectors can be a bit finicky, and over time, I noticed that they required cleaning to maintain a stable connection. Additionally, the card seems a bit delicate; if you’re not careful when plugging in or unplugging devices, it can cause the board to pull loose connections. This leads to the card becoming unresponsive, and the only solution is to remove and reinsert it into the PCIe slot. This is something to be mindful of, especially if you frequently swap out USB devices.Overall Verdict:This PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card does the job, especially if you’re on Windows 11, but it’s not without its quirks. If you can handle a bit of maintenance and are careful with the connectors, it’s a solid addition to your desktop for expanding your USB ports. However, the issues I experienced on Windows 10 and the need for occasional cleaning and caution with the connectors are worth noting before purchasing.

Working great with Windows Server 2022 and default Windows driver. Didn't need to install any additional drivers.
