Only runs high-speed (usb2) not super-speed (usb3)
Test the card on server 2016, will not accept the drivers from OS or the cd, make a firmware upgrade, the OS can now find a driver, only run USB 2.0. Try to install the drivers from cd, the system accepted the drivers, but only run usb 2.0 Have try a usb 3 pen and a usb 3 harddrive.

Low profile bracket does not fit
I have had good experiences with previously bought serial and parallel port expansion cards with low profile brackets from Startech. But on this card it is either the wrong dimensions on the bracket or something with the hole pattern on the card. When mounted, there is a 3-4mm gap left causing me to bend the mainboard when the latch holding the card is locked. Because o...

Great design!
The four USB 3.O ports are aligned vertically which allows for more ports, than say one with horizontal ports.

Startech USB3 PCIe Adapter Card
It was defective out of the box. It did not work. I had Dell L3 folks working with me trying to get it to work. StarTech products are excellent, so this is probably just a random hardware failure.

Great for updating an older PC
I've been running this card well over a year and beside having to reinstall the drivers once (power failure) this card has been flawless. My machine only has USB 2.0 ports so the speed upgrade was quite dramatic, I don't think you quite get the full 5gbps as advertised but my external USB drives do outperform my internal SATA II hard drives.

Best for VR!
This card works brilliantly for my Oculus Rift (VR). It supports windows 10, but make sure you don't install the old drivers from this website. The new ones are automatically installed by windows 10, and are (at the time of my writing) driverversion 10.0.16299.125, dated 07.12.2017. Make sure your motherboard has enough PCIe-lane bandwidth left for a for x4 card - as we...

Half Height - PCI Express Card Adapter
I have been using the USB 3.0 PCIe card adapter for about 6 months and it installed easily and has worked flawlessly. The half height card bracket came with the kit and enabled me to use it in my ASUSPro Series system unit.

great but only works sometimes
I got it a year ago and it didn't work with my hp but I blame the mobo in that. It works on my main rig so it's still functional as extra USB ports.

great updgrade to USB 3.0 card
I need to upgrade a two year old basic computer that had 2.0 USB's ports to 3.0. This fit the bill. A person always needs more USB ports than are standard on PC's. Some adapter cards only have two or three. Why not have four ports for less than $5 difference in price? I followed the installation instructions which were quick and easy. In matter of minutes I was able to ...

Works perfectly with ProFlightSim instr. panels
The price was right, and it is small enough to fit in with my rather large GTX 780Ti graphics card. The Pro Flight Sim instrument panels require USB 3.0 ports; all eight work perfectly with two 4 port StarTech PCIe cards.
