ELUTENG PCIE USB 3.0 Card 7 Ports PCI Expree to USB Expansion Card Super Speed 5Gbps PCI-e USB3 Hub Controller Adapter for Windows 11/10/8/7/XP/Vista

This review is a little long but for those of you trying to do what I'm trying to do should read on. Since I don't have any more available external USB ports, I have to resort to an addin pcie expansion card.I've been trying to use 2 spare Samsung 1TB 970 EVO Plus NVME M.2 SSD's as just some more storage. I tried a Sabrent dual NVME M.2 enclosure plugged into an Inateck card with USB 3.1 type-A and type-C ports. Computer's disk management would only recognize one drive plugged into the card. Any additional drives were not recognized. The Sabrent enclosure is nice in that only one cable is needed to connect both drives in one unit, supposedly. It also has a fan that must always be running to cool the SSD's, even if the drives are not being utilized. But man is it loud! I don't know if mine is defectice or it just runs that way. I returned it. I purchased two single NVME M.2 enclosures, also Sabrent. Sabrent enclosures work differently in that the NVME card is not slid into the enclosre but half of the enclosure pops open without the need for a screw and then closes on the card with a thermal pad pressed on it. Very simple.The Inateck card has an ASmedia controller that I just could not find any newer driver than what Windows 11 supplies and trying to upgrade the driver was just met with, "you have the most up to date driver". I've used Inateck cards before and they have worked fine. In my search for other options, I came across this company I never heard of before and their similar USB expansion card. I took a chance and bought it because it was not pricey at all. I got it today and replaced the Inateck card with this one. I plugged in one card into the type-C port and there it was! Crossing my fingers, I plugged in another card into the other type-C port and that also showed up. Feeling bold, I plugged another item into the type-A port and that also is being recognized. Absolutely wonderful. The speeds are not like what they would be if the drives were plugged in a motherboard's M.2 port. But I have two additional 1 TB SSD drives for storage. I really don't care if it takes 30 seconds instead of 5 seconds to write to them! This will be my go to company for other cards I may need!!

Was using USB extender hubs before, this is a big upgrade.USB extender hubs are under powered and they share the same hub channel so they're slower and prone to weird disconnect and read and write errors because of the poor power supply and regulation.So far my USB devices and drives are faster, more responsive and fingers crossed have not gotten weird disconnect or read and write errors using this card.For the price definitely worth it if you have lots of USB drives, save yourself the headache with this instead of trying to buy extend your USB ports with USB hubs.

Something you might experience installing this...as well as other expansion type cards...The product works as expected, but some cases may have to be adjusted for the card to fit. My ATX case needed the removal of the thin strip of metal that seperates the slots on the back. Try as I could...the card would not accrept USB plugs because the strip was preventing the plug to slide into the card. I had to remove the strip to gain an extra thousandth of an inch need for the cables to plug in. It's not the cards fault at all, but the case just wasn't exact enough to allow clearence . I've installed other cards in pc's of all types, GPU, AUDIO, USB etc with no problems..just be aware minor surgery may be needed to make it fit..

As per the title- Im running a gaming PC and the setup is different. The graphics card is not directly attached to the mother board which is blocking installation. The GPU is mounted to the floor of the case via an extension cabling system and I will need to do the same before I can install this card. Otherwise the card is fine. Packaged correctly to prevent static, easy instruction if you need them and plaenty of expansion. I have 3 keyboards(standard, standard + 10 key and a half keyboard I use for different games. I have 6 external drives and other USB connected items and having a 4 way is not enough. So if your GPU is floor mounted, get the extension cable as well. disappointed it wasnt mentioned in the description.

I bought this because I have a video capture device that requires a USB 3.2 connection to work fully, and my motherboard only has 3.1. Once it arrived, it's condition was good, and it was very easy to plug in, and it did work in terms of plugging stuff into the ports, and my computer easily recognized the device on either port.Unfortunately, the capture device was not working as intended (I have used the external capture device before on another computer that DOES have 3.2 ports, and it works just fine). From what I can tell, the ports on this product only support USB 3.1 speeds, NOT the advertised 3.2 speeds.I did a fair bit of trouble shooting, checking my BIOS for the PCIE slots and making sure they were running appropriately, trying 3 different PCIE slots in my MoBo just in case, checking for driver support, but there was nothing.I guess I should have read the product description more closely:"Note: Please use this PCIE USB card on PCIE 3.0 slot with USB 3.1 GEN2 devices, otherwise the peak speed of 10Gbps cannot be obtained."Having a single spot in your product page that says it needs to be USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices, but then advertising USB 3.2 is just blatant misleading advertising. They are not the same, and the product should just titled with "USB 3.1"For most use cases like light data transfer, plugging in peripherals, etc, this would work fine. But since I was specifically needing USB 3.2 speeds, and this product seems to kinda be meant for use cases similar to mine, I think this deserves a low rating for being dishonest.
