easy install no drain of speed on a pcie 3.0 ssd worth it ---to get out of messing with those TINY screws down in a crowded case
Maybe a Necessity if You Have a USB-C on Front Panel Header because no USB 3.2 GEN1 connector on motherboard. The PCI-E 1X to USB 3.2 GEN1 5Gbps 20pin Front Panel Header allows you to connect the USB-C front panel header to your PCI-E 1X slot
Even on an older motherboard it was still detected.
Simple Installation. Comes with a screwdriver and a screw. Truly Plug & Play with Windows 10 if your Motherboard already has support for NVMe. Does not even look for a driver, it just works. Great way to add fast NVMe drives.
Works well and really like that I dont have to hook up an external SATA power source. Speeds are good and match my other USB ports on my mobo.
upgraded old i5 2600k with the addition of a NVMe drive:D (and gtx1060). I plan to upgrade the motherboard and cpu with the next upgrade. But I could die before this machine gets slow.
Easy install, works as expected.
My new motherboard had only 4 SATA slots, so I ran out during the initial build (with zero NVME drives). So, I can now use my two optical drives (DVD and BluRay), which I know are passe, but I like having them hooked up! Board works great, no issues.
- Easy install - Get some extra eSATA(p) or USB2.0 ports
Reasonablly priced, and works flawlessly under Linux Mint 17.
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to install the correct drivers as I don't have a disc drive on this pc. but windows was able to get it done without me doing anything.
TI Chipset, 1394a and 1394b with internal power. Includes SATA power adapter or for newer power supplies. Best TI card in this price range IMO.
- Works great on a motherboard that supports bifurcation (HP Z440, etc.). For a Z440, the BIOS allows it under slot settings with the x4x4x4x4 setting to split a x16 lane slot into four x4 lane connections. - 4 inexpensive, slower 500gb drives are about 3x as fast as an expensive 2,000gb drive and cost about the same, even with the cost of the Asus HYPER adapter included. - Active cooling works great!
