Works fine as expected. I opted for the model with the SATA power, just in case someone plugs in a high power device. This was the most ports I could find on any USB expansion card. StarTech makes great products. I've been in IT for 20+ years, and I think they make the best niche tech parts out there. They are so much better than the cheaper no name random alternatives on Amazon. StarTech is worth paying a little more. The best part is their support! The chat is great, and you can find downloads and manuals as you need them. That is really important when dealing with technology. I always default StarTech for hard to find and specialty adapters.

Putting USB devices through the back grill of your computer is a tight fit. Don't expect to put hot swappable USBs back there or USBs connectors with bigger shrouds on there.Inside is great for a strong Bluetooth receiver or those RBG lights that need a USB connection or w/e.As long as you take these things into consideration this is a great product.For the value for the money, I gave it a 3 star because I know this is on the expensive end but I'm paying more for the brand name and that it will work with the specs it listed.

Although this USB card is a bit more expensive than similar cards, it works well and provides plenty of power to attached devices. There are 6 external USB ports and one internal. The included SATA power cable ensures that you can draw power directly from a PSU connection rather than pulling it though the PCI slot.One caveat is that this card has the USB ports mounted horizontally. If the ports are mounted vertically then there's no issue, the connectors have plenty of room since they're oriented up and down. (See the image for a comparison.)Since the ports are horizontal, you'll want to make sure there's enough clearance in the card cutout.Some cases have card slots that are just too narrow to be able to plug USB connectors into it. My PC case was one of those, so I had to take a Dremel tool to the slots and grind them on each side so they had a wider opening. After that was done everything fit properly.Chances are your PC has backplane slots that are wide enough, but you should check before buying this (or buy a card that has the ports mounted vertically).With that said, the card provides plenty of ports and plenty of power to handle most devices.

Replaced on old card that would not work in W11. Simple to install and sata cord helps power the power hungry peripherals.

I built a NAS using an old Lynnfield-era PC running CentOS 7. I had previously used a Highpoint SAS/SATA controller to keep all the HDs internal. The Highpoint controller works well, but requires a kernel module that must be compiled with each kernel upgrade. I found this annoying and wanted a hardware solution that didn't require a kernel module.I picked the StarTech card even though it is 3x the price of the Chinese cards because of my experience with StarTech stuff. They make very high quality stuff. Their engineers design great boards that are not flaky. Since I'm relying on the data in my system, I picked high quality components.I purchased two of these cards. They each provide six external USB 3.0 ports so I have a total of 12 ports connected to 12 USB 3.0 HDs. I'm running zfs with raidz3. That's 48TB of raw storage with ~30TB of usable storage. I'm seeing ~60 MB/sec writing to the array from /dev/zero with 'dd'.While it's nice having internal drives for the NAS for a clean, compact setup; it will be nice to be able to easily disconnect and connect a replacement drive when I experience a disk failure. I got two large power strips to plug in all 12 of the HD power transformers.

It looks like all the ports share a host controller, which means this card isn't really useful for lots of USB devices. The Sonnet Allegro card with 4 usb ports has the same PCIE footprint and has one controller per port. Overall Sonnet for USB on Linux has been the best experience for me.

Yes, it's pricy - but it actually works well and is really fast. Wasted my time with 3 other crappy cheap cards that ended up having issues. So far thus Startech card works great and the devices attached are screaming fast. Using it in Lenovo low profile computer. 5 Stars so far. No issues and plug and play with Win 10

Very useful product since I have quite a bit of USB plug-in computer. This meet my needed, and working as I expected. I always trust this brand but somehow is quite high cost. I utilize all port because I desktop does not have enough port, and I only want all USB cable come to one place for easier manage. Good product.

OK so Startech is an unusual brand. They do not employ huge marketing department and you will not see them in every shop, because they cost rather more than typical Chinese electronic and do not appear to have catchy unique selling points - unitil you look into detail.For example, in this case we have a combination of two best of the crop USB3 chips: Renesas uDP720201 (4 channel USB3 controller for ePCI) and uDP720210 (4 channel USB3 hub). Each connector is protected by a reasonably sized capacitor. The bracket features 4 ports past the hub and 2 ports attached directly to controller. On the inside you will find another single port attached directly to controller (the last port of the controller is driving the hub, obviously).You could buy cheaper USB3 controller obviously - but it wouldn't have this many ports and also, most likely, it wouldnt have this quality of components. Of course you could instead buy another Startech controller, 4 port where each port is driven by a dedicated Renesas chip for ultimate performance - useful if you need this much bandwidth. I did not, and wanted maximum number of port instead. It works great.One point to note: due to orientation of USB3 sockets, the USB plugs will fill space of PCI bracket with very little tolerance left. Be sure to plug an USB cable/device/anything into the bracket ports before you close the chassis, otherwise you may need to re-open your computer and readjust the card later.

Achetée pour augmenter le nombre de ports USB d'un PC un peu pauvre en USB, la carte fonctionne parfaitement.Je l'ai installé sous win 8 et une config I5 sur une carte mère Lenovo.Je n'ai pas essayé les drivers livrés sur le CD mais j'ai téléchargé les plus récents sur le site du constructeurs.Les 6 sorties externes fonctionnent. Je n'ai pas testé la prise interne.Livraison rapide.

Not cheap but I have a lot of these cards in use and they generally seem to work very well. Using it on linux and windows. I much prefer the 7 port version over the 4 port version because it seems to have a much more sturdy sata power connector. So I would suggest to go with this version for that reason.

Great product, installed flawlessly but unfortunately I couldn’t access the usb ports in my Fractal meshify 2 case - it would be fine in any PCIe slot except the lowest one, but that was the only free slot I had available.I have returned it and ordered the 3+1 usb port from StarTech instead as the ports are arranged vertically.
