The driver dates from January 2014, so Windows 10 has driver problems (non-migrated device) and disables / restarts the device at random....
It's fine if you use it as a USB flash drive port or other occasional external mass storage, it's prohibitive when you have a heavily used USB device (in this case an Oculus Rift).
The card is recognized without problem under Linux (plug and play). The USB 3 management works perfectly, unlike the integrated ports on my motherboard which is a bit old (ASUS P8P67LE).
The product meets all the specifications described. It works without any special handling, both on the hardware and software side (windows10). I received it quickly and it is very well protected in its transport packaging.
Thank you
The product was delivered to the shop on time, corresponds well to the advertisement, easy installation, recognized by Win10 without any problem.
However I am returning this product, not because it is a problem but because it uses a VIA or ASMedia chipset that is incompatible with my new Oculus Rift S which requires a USB 3.0 port on an Intel or Fresco Logic chipset... But that's an Oculus problem essentially.
The after-sales service responded to my request by sending me a return coupon to print and send the product back to LDLC. Thank you LDLC for the quality of service.
Thank you ldlc always a fast and neat service. the USB 3.0 card works very well it installs itself with w10 a pleasure to increase its usb3.0 support in addition powered by SATA.
Thank you for the great service!
