2X 19Pin USB 3.0 Header Ports PCI Express USB 3.0 Expansion Card for Windows Server, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 PCs-Build in Self-Powered Technology-No Need Additional Power Supply (FS-H2-Pro)

I read a lot of reviews of different internal USB PCI expansion cards. And so I choose this one. My machine is a dual boot machine running windows 8 and 10. Simple to install, open the can, remove the PCI slot cover plate on the back of the can and dropped in the card. I had no problem plugging in the two cables, seemed sturdy. This is a small card not much to it, I treated it gently. Fired up the machine in Windows 8 mode first, and no issues. Detected and worked right off. Restarted the machine in Windows 10 mode, and again no issues. I guess I got lucky as my card came with a driver CD, instructions, short cover plate, and a screw. Great little USB 3.0 card.

As the title says. Got this to be able to use the front USB ports on the 5.25" card reader in my PC after running out of motherboard USB headers.

I needed this pcie expansion card to go into an old desktop to enable front mount USB three plugs without additional Molex or SATA power connectors. This worked fine out of the box with Windows 10 and in Xubuntu 24.04. Note that there were no native drivers in Ubuntu Mate or Kubuntu. I did not test it with Windows 11. There is a small CD of drivers included.

I did not do any official speed tests. Full plug-and-play functionality on a motherboard that predates USB3.0. Installed in a PCIe slot, one port supplies 3.0 to one drive bay, the other port supplies another drive bay. No sign of easily breakable plastic but I also didn't keep changing my mind. Works exactly as intended.

Worked perfectly right out of the box! Window 10 recognized it right off the bat and I was up and running in seconds. Self powered in my opinion is the only way to go. No searching around for an extra Sata cable! Recommend this product highly!
