Inateck PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Extension Card with 5 Ports 8 Gbps Bandwidth,No External Power Source Required, RedComets U25

I have a 10 year old PC that I had upgraded to Windows 10, but without USB 3.0 or USB-C. I plugged this card into an empty PCIe x1 expansion slot, booted up, and Windows did the rest. I did not need any additional software or to install any drivers, etc. All the ports work nicely.One thing to be ware of is that PCI express slots and cards were first introduced in 2003. The cards come in different sizes (x1 to x16) and different versions (from 1.0 to 7.0). There are charts available showing the capabilities of the various iterations.The older your computer, the less this card will deliver (in terms of the speed of data transfer). For example, a PCIe x1 v.1.0 card has a maximum transfer rate of 250MB/sec. So, if you’re expecting your newly added USB-C ports to be capable of 5 or 10GB/sec, you’re going to be disappointed. If you have a new computer, it will deliver as advertised, but I imagine most people with new computers don’t need this device, and already have USB 3.0 and USB-C slots, or if additional slots are needed, they’re just plugging a hub into an existing port.

Purchased this item to add USB ports to my computer as there were only a few USB 3 built in. This item added 5 ports and all run at a good speed as suggested in the write-up. Looking at getting a second one for an older computer that needs the USB 3.Would recommend, as it is working great for me.

Se ve bien hecha y trabajó instantáneamente en Mac OS12.4. Las tasas de transferencia mejoraron de 16 a 160 Mbytes/segundo. Yo ya tenía la versión anterior. Una actualización bienvenida.

Installed in a 2012 mac pro works perfectly with no set up. I Tested the transfer speed with with a sandisk exterem pro sata ssd and got read write speeds around 340 mbps read, 280 write. Then I tested the same ssd on the usb 2 and got speeds of 35 write 40 read so a big difference in speed for a very good price and also well made.

Vrij snelle levering en vlotte installatie.Prima product voor een deze prijs!
