- Works exactly like it says right out of the box - Works even for old hardware
- The heat sink plate is WELL CONSTRUCTED and nice and thick! Make sure you mount your M.2 NVMe drives and then place the heat sink adhesive on the drives and then mount and screw the plate in place. - Note: the board has a +12V fan connector on it that is not used in this variant. Riitop sells another that is a fan-based model were a fan (in place of the plate) would normally mount. - The kit comes with a decent screwdriver you need to install the heat sink plate. I have sooo many screwdrivers now because I have ordered similar kits.
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
Works great
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.
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 to install and worked for me once I got a few glitches on my computer squared away.

Easy install, works as expected.
- 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!
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.
Looks to be well made with the SATA ports attached solidly to the card (I purchased a few from other manf. in the past where the SATA ports broke or became loose and I had to super-glue them back on). Easy install: -- driver support as far back as kernel 4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64, so happy about that! -- came with power and SATA cables - so it's a complete package for the price.
Easy to setup. Didn't need to search any extra drivers.
Up to 3200MB/s read and write. Give older PC's the chance to shine again GPU performs almost as well in 8x mode as it did in 16x. Well worth the hit.
Easy to install. Adds USB 3.0 technology to older systems.
