PCI-E to USB 3.0 7-Port(2X USB-C - 5X Type-A) Expansion Card,PCI Express USB Add in Card, Internal USB3 Hub Converter for Desktop PC Adapter Support Windows 10/8/7/XP and MAC OS 10.8.2 Above

I was glad I read the reviews regarding checking the space available prior to installation. Mine arrived quickly, installed with ease and works fine for my needs. Check your PC case first to be sure that this card will give you the clearance it requires. The vertically oriented ports probably won’t work for most smaller office-type PCs.There are plenty of reviews with pictures here that illustrate this caveat.

Simple instiation gave me more options for USB related devices. Currently have 3 cameras working on this USB card. I would recommend if you need more USB connections to you PC.

There were no reviews when I first looked at this product so I was very skeptical about purchasing but for the first price of $18 along with an additional 10% off I had grab it for all it's offering. It raised in price after the first batch sold which is the norm with supply and demand so I'm happy I was an early adapter. Definitely a lot better than the Internal USB 3.0 HUB that I finally had to throw out after 6 years. This one is a lot sleeker, has a minimalistic aesthetic to it along with providing you with addition USB room. However, certain USB devices will not get enough power to run properly using this hub. For example, my Xbox Wireless Adapter will get power for ten minutes before automatically turning off, I just switched a random jump drive in my PC for it. External Drives work pretty well and don't give me that problem so it may be a software conflict between the hub and my wireless adapter. But overall a nice alternative to a MOBO with a few USB Ports or for people like me that like to have more than needed. Also for those wanting to use this hub for USB C displays, this will not work at all as it doesn't provide enough power just giving a heads-up. The additional USB C port are a godsend since cases with USB C ports are more expensive and some motherboards like mine only have 1 USB C Ports that I used for an external drive before getting this hub. Definitely a cheap and effective way to add USB C ports to your PC without the premium price point and the speeds are equal to what you'll get on your motherboard. Also, it doesn't require a SATA Cable to get up and running which is what a lot of USB Hubs need to get powered on.

Had a problem fitting card in slot, made it work by cutting away bracket on PC. I'm only using the USB 3 ports.When copying many files to a drive, in mid-copy ALL of the drives (even those not involved) will go offline and then come back within about a minute. The copy has failed, of course. Sometimes the drives will disconnect randomly overnight, but are re-connected when I check in the morning.Have tried manufacturer's driver and Microsoft's, which I'm currently using. I also have the power-saving option turned off in the Properties of each port, and this did seem to help, as the random dis- and re-connects seem fewer.When they work, I'm satisfied. When the don't it's very frustrating.

Card, works fine, what else?

I bought this to replace another USB card, which only had 5 ports. Everything was working fine prior to installation. From the first boot up, everything USB related started acting badly, from internal USB devices (Corsair Commander Core XT and a Corsair Commander Pro), to the external devices (2TB, 8TB & 14TB external, two joysticks and Astro A40s). External transfers to HD's would just stop at random points. Verified that all drives were still good-to-go with chkdsk. iCue which controls the corsair products would randomly lose connection, yet neither of these devices are plugged into this card. That means that something, with this card, is messing with either power or IRQ's. Once I removed the card, everything went back to working normally. No more transfer problems and no more iCue/Corsair disconnects.I'll also note, this card, although listed as USB 3.0 has a LOT of caveats. READ the instructions prior to purchase. You can't use the USB-C for half of the normal products that you would use with USB-C such as external monitors. You can't use USB extensions as each USB port is severally underpowered. This makes sense as there is no internal power connector for the card and only draws power from the PCI-E 1x port.I can't recommend this product for anyone that would use this in 2023.
