PCIe to USB 3.2/USB 3.1 Gen 2 Card 10Gbps 5-Port (3X USB C -2X Type A) PCI Express Expansion Card PC Internal Hub for Windows 10/8/7 Linux and MAC OS 10.8.2 Above

I had a problem with this item but customer service was helpful, they wanted to try first to send a replacement, but that also did not work, so then the sent a refund. so I can say this company offers good service and for that I offer that 5 stars. For some reason the first time I tried to leave a review it did not work, so a few weeks later I realize and I am doing again.

Easy to install. Just pop off the side cover and then remove the cover plate for the PCI slot in use. Slide it in, then replace screws and fire it up.Haven't checked data transfer rates, but USB-C hub is functional with remote drives and additional HDMI operating simultaneously.Happy with purchase.

Here's the thing, everything was great for a little more than a year. However, this past month, things started to get a little dicey. USB ports would lose power for no reason at all and the computer, with the PSU is stable. I plugged in my USB load tester (not just voltage test unloaded).I found out the ports couldn't deliver USB 3.x power requirements and could barely handle 5 volts at 500 mA maximum (2.5WDC). If I plugged in every other port it could handle the USB 2.0 power requirements. It used to be able to handle USB 3.x power on all powers.Today, as of 3:20 PM CST, the card is now finally dead. I know what the problem is, after looking at the PCB and tested the components via a PCIe riser and an oscilloscope. Several of the passive components specs are too small, they need bigger beefier components. While I could fix this, the manufacture has to know that they effed up.Now, USB 3.x is up to 20 Volts and 5 Amps, that's 100W per port. Now, this is not possible because PCIe slot maximum wattage is 75W and you'd need addition PCIe 8-pin connectors to deliver all the power you'd need. PCIe 6 and 8 pin power is at 12VDC, so the card would need to use a step up transformer to change the power from 12 to 20 VDC and be able to deliver that much juice.So, if you think about it.2 type A4 type CWhich is 6 ports total, max of 20V at 5A aka 100W a port, that 600 Watts total power capability. I have yet to see any USB card or embedded solutions actually have that capability.The way this card is set up by data is to be signal wise compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 but not power wise.If you want a sturdy card, pick another card manufacturer.

My Quest2 has a weird issue with USB ports, it seems to burn them out. None of the ports on my mobo will recognize the HMD anymore or charge it. Most other usb2.0 level devices still work fine, but I needed something to use for VR and took the opportunity to upgrade to 3.2.After a couple months I’ve noticed that the HMD isn’t charging like it used to on any of the ports but since each port has its own dc regulation circuitry I’m guessing it’s probably a cable issue… the HMD seems to eat thru cables too, but given how much they get twisted up during gameplay that’s not all that shocking.Anyway, great looking card that has performed well! External NVMe drives are noticeably faster than stock usb3.0, and I’ve been able to crank VR SS to 1.5 to match the native quest resolution and I couldn’t do that before. Solid buy.

So far, the newly installed product has had no problems and can function well.A quite significant change is in external USB SSD devices where the initial speed of 42 Mb/s becomes around 546 Mb/s

Con esta tarjeta logré darle un nuevo aire a mi MacPro 5.1 en cuanto a conectividad de última generación, excelente artículo y sobre todo su instalación y configuración la cual es Plug And Play.

I have a 2010 5,1 Mac Pro running Mojave. I recently bought a LaCie d2 8TB External HDD with a type C connector and realized I had no way to plug it in since my card was a Sonnet USB 3 only. This card was the answer and I'm getting better than 244 MB/s read and write speeds (See photo).

I tried everything and with multiple docking stations as well as those USB-C hubs (which have 1 or more HDMI ports) but there is no way you can get the video signals out of this !!!I mean you might think as long as the data speed is USB 3.2 even the display/video ports in your dock or USB-C hub should work right? WRONG !You will get the actual data out of this (e.g. for flash drives), no probs ! But if you connect any displays (monitors) to the dock/hub those won't work !I am beginning to assume the C port needs to be a "thunderbolt" for that and this card has only plain simple USB-C ports and not "Thunderbolt" which is why this can't provide the video signals or enough data needed for HDMI port in the docks/hubs ! I am suspecting even the ethernet port on this docks/hubs won't work either (never tested though)!I am returning this card since this (monitors connected to my Dock/Hub) was the main reason I bought this, for data I already have enough USB 3.0 ports (USB-A size), why would I spend this much money just for data, right?
