Does the job
Used in virtualisation for a Windows in PCI Passthrough mode, it works perfectly.
2 criticisms:
- too bad, only 2 USB ports
- the SATA power connector doesn't fit very well

Great but beware, you need a 5-wire SATA connection
Plugged into my "old" (10 years old) Asrock H61M-DGS card which was too low on USB outputs.
However, I first powered it with a Molex->SATA adapter (4 wires), the keyboard and mouse worked but not the external SSDs. I then used a 5-wire SATA plug (+ orange 3.3V wires) and now my external SSDs work. It would be good to specify this in the description.Review automatically translated -

Good card -> don't forget the need for the "sata" power connector
Good card, does the job.
Beware, even if it shows on the pictures and the doc -> you absolutely have to plug a SATA drive power connector on the back of the card.
Therefore, depending on how "full" your PC is -> this can result in a bit of acrobatic wiring.Review automatically translated -

CLEAR
Nothing to say about the product, does the job.
Of course the speed is slightly lower than the usb ports on the motherboard but it's still very good for an additional card.Review automatically translated -

Low Profile compatible
It's a shame to pay this price to get 2 extra USB ports, but for low profile cases you can't find what you want on the market. I don't put all the stars because of the price. Otherwise, no problem with installation. Make sure that you have a SATA power supply available. Without a power supply, the card does not work. No driver needed with Windows 10.

Okay. I did some more tests. To talk about numbers, I went from 25MB/s in USB2 to 85MB/s in USB3. That's good, but I was hoping for better. My antediluvian PC is perhaps to blame.

I bought it to boost the transfers of my old cuckoo clock (bought in 2005 on LDLC!). I bought it to boost the transfers of my old cuckoo clock (bought in 2005 on LDLC!). The result is very average. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how long it takes to transfer files to a USB3 flash drive. I'm not sure if it's the card that should be questioned, given the obsolescence of my equipment. Moreover, I run Xubuntu 18, does the card have well adapted drivers? I don't know.

Does its job well
Installed on an old MS-7613 motherboard (Iona-GL8E) in an HP Pavilion running Windows 7, I had no problem installing it.
It came with a CD containing the drivers, so recognition was no problem at all.
The speed difference with the native USB 2 ports is considerable.
Good product for a fair price.
I recommend it.
Delivery by Colissimo on time.
