PCIE 4-Ports Superspeed 5Gbps USB 3.0 Expansion Card for Windows 11, 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, XP Desktop PCs, Built in FebSmart Self-Powered Technology, No Need Additional Power Supply (FS-U4L-Pro)

I have a full size tower, but I really like that the FS-U4 can be used in a mini-tower PC. I am not using this for a power source; I have a powered USB hard drive attached. It installed flawlessly in the case, and Windows 10 recognized it at boot with no extra help. Data coming from a USB 2.0 hard drive via the mainboard port to the USB 3.0 hard drive is about 32MB/s (~320Mb/s) ... which is a lot faster than when the same USB 3.0 hard drive was connected to the USB 2.0 port. It can write about 131MB/s coming from the SATA C: hard drive to the USB 3.0 hard drive. The only complaint I could have, is that I wish it came with a 'Y-splitter' power cable. I have a 750W power supply, but the power connectors are limited.----------2019/03/20----------Bummer. Microsoft just upgraded me to Win 10 Version 10.0.18356 Build 18356 last week, and this is no longer working. I have uninstalled and re-installed vendor and Microsoft drivers, but cannot get to work any more. The USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller just shows a little yellow triangle in Device Manager, and the Reneasys driver only sticks around until reboot, then it gets replaced with the xHCI one. The explanation is very helpful: This device cannot start (Code 10).

Great picture, thanks, I know. The card being reviewed is the bottom card, and you can see blue light coming from the open two ports; the other two are in use. The card does not cause the blue light, but I grabbed some fancy CPU cooler to keep my CPU from melting. The card is small, plugged into an open PCI-E port, and comes with two back panel plates, one for a tighter chassis design and the other for a traditional full-sized case. It plugged in, and it just worked on my Windows 10 older AMD computer (like 10ish years old). I have used hard drives via the card's USB 3 and had no issues. While I doubt my system can push the card to the max, the motherboard only had 2 USB 3 ports, and I needed more. For the $20, this is a cheap upgrade.

Easy installation and setup.

If your case's PCI slot cutouts are slightly narrower than usual, you'll have a very hard time using this card. Apparently the Fractal Meshify C has slightly narrower PCI slot cutouts, and I can only fit USB connectors through them by inserting them at an angle and then twisting into place. Obviously, this is not good for the USB cables, and removing them once inserted is even harder.Once a USB cable is wrangled and shoved into the port, the card works great!I did not intend to return the product because it does technically work, but note that the product description states the seller won't accept returns once you open the packaging anyway unless it's defective. Make sure your case's PCI slot cutouts are wide enough to fit a USB connector through before you order.

I used this to connect my backup drive to my old computer. It was exactly what I needed. Works great.

Did NOT work on my PC with current version (24H2) Windows 11. Tried card in all four available PCIe slots, to no avail. Will be ordering a different brand that uses a different driver.

This card worked well after the drivers and card were installed on a Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2P running Windows 7 home premium fully updated. It provides USB speeds as promised. One important caveat however, is the physical constraints of the orientation of the USB connectors caused conflict with computer case. I had to alter the rear of the case to get clearance for the USB Type A connectors to not hit the metal card slot separators preventing insertion of the Type A ends into the card slot. The 90 degree orientation of the card's connection allows 4 connectors but may require you to do some Dremel work.

Worked perfectly. It did not appear to work on my Matisse USB chipset, but this seems to be a limitation of the Kinect SDK rather than the device. Once I bought a Renesis based USB AiC, the adapter worked just fine
