In Add-On Cards

I plugged in two drives and there was no setup required! Pure plug and play and the speed is limited to your PCIE available bandwidth.

Works great with my WD SSD

It keeps the sdds cool and easy to install. A thick plate covers the sdds to disapate heat.

Worked (with only 1 nvme) of course without slot bifurcation. I have a pciex16 2.0 slot but still works fast and I can boot from it as well

Used this to expand the number of drives in a smallish Ubuntu home server. Still testing, but seems flawless so far and transparent to the user - just more drives available. All I did was power down, plug it in the PCIe 3.0 slot, attach a couple drives, and power up. Drives were recognized immediately and accessible like all the others. They claim max throughput of 277MB/s but so far both drives tested at 500 MB/s+ the same as when plugged into the mobo ports. I assume the limited speed might occur if multiple drives were accessed at once. Since it's a server and I'm using this to add SSDs, i doubt I will ever notice any slow downs. Bonus: the 6 provided SATA cables have locking connectors and are of a reasonable length.

I needed a PCIE usb card with a Renesas USB controller for my Nvidia 3D Vision emitter. Im on a z570, which introduces some timing related issues that cause the emitters timing to drift. The only way I found to fix it, was to get a Startech PCIE usb card with a NEC or Renesas controller. Startech was the only brand with reasonably priced options, although, even this two port card was more than I wanted to spend. It works though, I spent days trying to find a solution to that problem after upgrading from a z370 to a z570. I think the listing says its NEC, but windows shows it as Renesas, it doesnt matter because either will work.

Easy installation

Easy to install and works great.

Freenas server unit w Mini ITX MB needed a single board w at least 9 ports for HDDs. This was the only one I found w 10 ports Had no problems w compatibility and worked out of the box Included SATA and extra power cables TROPRO provided tracking info as needed

I have two of these in a Threadripper PC. In an X16 socket 4 M.2 drives. In an X8 socket 2 M.2 drives. All six drives run off cpu lanes at max speed for the M.2 drive. FLAWLESS with Sabrent GEN4 drives for months. No temp throttling.
