No driver needed in Windows

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

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.


-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu

Installed this in my Asus P6T Dlx v2 MB and worked like a champ. Hooked up 4 WD 4 TB External HDD's to the card and had no issues.


I've wanted to add more sata ports onto my PC for a long time. This expansion card fits in almost any available slot. I used the extra PC x16 slot. I have tested a few of the ports, they all seem to be working well. I did not plug the Drive with Windows on it into this card, as it suggests not to do that. When I first booted up my PC after installing & connecting everything, one of my physical HDDs wasn't recognized & drive letters were changed. I turned it off, switched some cables around and tested some more ports, changed drive letters back, then everything was okay. It could have been a loose connection on my part.



Works well Works fast






Even on an older motherboard it was still detected.
