Review: EXACTLY what I wanted! Works perfectly! - I've tried several of these USB-C expansion cards. Some say they're self-powered, others use oddball connectors not found on 95% of motherboards. This one uses a simple SATA power connector that most older PC's (that don't already have USB-C), will have in abundance. This card works perfectly. High speed data transmission. Check! Charging. Check! That's all I've ever wanted. Sadly it took my 4th try. But I finally have exactly what I wanted and needed.
Review: Simple way to add more USB 3 ports to a desktop - This PCIe USB 3.0 expansion card is a straightforward upgrade for a desktop that needs a couple more high-speed USB ports. Installation was simple, and I like that it does not require an additional power connection for basic use. It is especially useful for older systems, workbench PCs, or machines where the front USB ports are limited or unreliable. This is not a fancy card, but it does exactly what I needed: adds more usable USB 3 ports without much fuss. For external drives, flash drives, adapters, and general peripherals, it is a handy low-cost upgrade. I was satisfied with it.
