Review: Best USB card ever - This USB 3.0 card was installed fast and without issue. It's tiny and fits between my SATA expansion cards. I don't have the ability to verify if it's actually sending 5 GBS, but I did plug in a 1TB portable drive to see if the read/write speed was affected. Not at all, they were the same as the other PC I built for someone else using the front panel USB ports. It is a great value for the money. I just 100% recommend this product
Review: Having problems in Win 10? Read this! - When first installed into my Windows 10 PC the USB ports would not function as they should. Notification sound would play when something was plugged in but it wouldn't be available, 30-60 seconds later it would notify play the USB disconnected sound and say "USB device failed". In device manager, this device is under "Universal Serial Bus controllers". It is the "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft)" However another new device is also noted in device manager. Under "Other devices" you will see "PCI Device" with a yellow warning symbol on it, indicating it is not functioning properly. Right click and disable this (not uninstall, otherwise the problem will reappear when device manager scans for new hardware again). It's like windows is identifying it as 2 things, one which it knows, and one which it doesn't. Which causes it to not work completely. I just disabled the PCI Device and it works great now!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many controllers does this pcie card have?**
A: on windows 10, it shows up as a single "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft)" in the device manager and "pci\ven_1106&dev3483..." in system information.

I assume the vl805 chip is sitting on the pcie bus and the vl813 chip is connected to one port on the vl805.

**Q: Where do I download the drivers from?**
A: Tiergrade usb expansion card is plug and play on Windows 10. Windows 7 requires drivers, you can use the enclosed driver CD or download it from the following link:
https://www.via-labs.com/driver.php

**Q: What is the purpose of having two USB ports inside the computer?**
A: Just for convenience and 2 extra USB 3.0 ports for you if you need more USB 3.0 port
Put 2 USB 3.0 in the front so you don't have to go to the back of computer

... But ... You have to add some panel for these 2 USB 3.0 ports
or ...  you can run 2 wires hang out to the front too .... your choice ..!!!
. .

**Q: Can you boot from a bootable usb drive plugged into this card? or will it not be recognized bu bios until o/s drivers are loaded?**
A: Yes you can use this with bootable USB. This is the reason why I bought this particular card: to install 2 USB sticks internally for enhanced UEFI capability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works good for what it is.
*by M***E on April 6, 2022*

Not a whole lot to say. Got it to use occulus link with my quest 2 in a PC without usb3 or c ports. It was plug and play (Worked immediately after install) for my win 10 machine. Though for 7 it might need drivers to my understanding. They do include a driver disk though and extra mounting screws for in your case if you don't have them. Overall I am happy with the buy. Update: Been using the card now for about a year in my PC. Even though since I rebuilt my computer I have 3.0 ports now I have still been using this card for the Quest 2 and as extra ports for Phone tethering, external drive and so forth and it still has been doing great!
