USB 3.0 PCI-e Expansion Card 7Port, RIITOP PCI-e x1 to USB 3.0 HUB Adapter 5Gbps (No Power Need)

This works great!!! I plugged it into the PCI slot and powered on my PC. NO messages popped up. I plugged my external drives into it and it worked. Opened file explorer and all my drives where there. Didn't have to load drivers. Seamless installation. I like having 7 USB ports for external drives and have now freed up the motherboard USB ports.Only one issue and I'm not worried about it, the USB connectors are a tight fit in the PCI opening of the case. It can be looked at one of two ways, poor design choice in going across or case design, PCI slots are a little narrow. It works and I'm not worried about it.Using Windows 11 Home.

Built a new PC with a case that needed two 20-pin connectors for its front panel USB ports, but bought a motherboard that only supported one. I didn't need them, but knowing there's 2 dead USB ports sitting on my new PC build would bother me. I did a lot of looking around and most of the simple fixes were questionable, or would sacrifice the speed of the 3.2. I'm not thrilled about sacrificing a PCI slot, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to have everything working appropriately. This did the trick and all front panel ports are working excellently.

Added thus card to a new ROG PC running Win'11 home. Install was simple and the supplied Drivers CD was not required. OS saw the new USB ports on bootup.

Got a new case with USB C connectors on the front. Realized my current motherboard was only USB 3.0. Added this card in the PCIe x4 slot and connected the case ports. All great! Tests are flawless!

This product is doing exactly what I need and with no issues whatsoever. Installation is pretty straightforward if you have basic computer building skills. I've been upgrading my old PC part by part for the last year or so. It's old and I just trying to keep it relevant for a little longer until i can buy a new one. The majority of the built in USB ports either don't work or don't work together well. I have a lot of stuff plugged in that I use for work. I guess it's just too much for the built in ports. Now everything is plugged into the same device. My PC doesn't get confused on where everything is located anymore. I just turned off all built in USB ports and only use this one now. My devices are running a little smoother as well with the USB 3.0.

I can’t review these. My son needed them. Obviously they work good he’s using them.

I had high hopes for this USB board. It has 7 USB ports, which would have replaced the 4 port USB card I was using (which would intermittently lose access to external drives attached to it, forcing me to restart the computer each time).It's important to mention that I've replaced many devices in many computers, so my experience level is quite high.After inserting the new board into the computer slot and turning on my computer, I immediately knew that there was a hardware incompatibility. There was a little blue circle spinning and I couldn't access my taskbar. I was forced to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to attempt to shut down my computer properly but ended up just powering the computer down manually. I put the old 4 port USB card back in and everything works normally again.I'll continue to look for a replacement USB card.

This card works fantastic!I downloaded the drivers in advance, But did not need. On my Dell XPS8300 I plugged it in, and Windows 7 PRO automatically found the drivers and installed them.My computer is older and only has USB 2 Ports, so I did A before and after time trialsending A 9.31 GB Folder containing both large and small files.All tests used A 10’ USB extension cable to a 1GB NVME external USB drive.From the Front Panel USB 2.0 portThe time was 5 Min 28 SecondsFrom this USB 3.0 cardThe time was 1 Min 57 SecondsSome have mentioned difficulty with the physical size of the ports interferingwith the computer case, but not A problem in mine.I could not ask for a more painless and useful upgrade!
