Step into the future, the USB 3.0 future that is, with this dual USB 3.0 controller card. Enjoy up to 5Gbps of throughput speed for video backup and data intensive applications. Easily add two external USB 3.0 ports and one 19-pin internal header. Includes a free low profile bracket.
Pros: This card worked the minute it was installed in my system (ASUS P5B-Deluxe Wi-Fi), it took one reboot and from there it has work at the rated speeds, although not everything you can plug in this connectors is or could be up to speed, it does work. I used a high-end SDHC (UHS Speed Class 1 95/50 MB/s) flash card on a USB 2.0 card reader and the writing speeds jump from a burst of 190MB/s slowing down to 44MB/s, moving a 3.1GB video file. I bought a case to use the front panel headers and they work great too, this card has not slow down or given any issues to my system ever since I start using it back in May of 2013. I'm using Win7 Home Edition 64-bit and didn't have to install drivers either. The power connector to it was not required for my purposes but I connected a power plug to it anyway.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: If you don't want to upgrade your motherboard, this is a great solution, but also a case with a USB 3.0 header would help even better, I got a Fractal Design case for $100 and with the front headers it has made my computer get better transfer rates. Better than upgrading to a whole new system. In my opinion.
