2X 19Pin USB 3.0 Header Ports PCI Express USB 3.0 Expansion Card for Windows Server, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 PCs-Build in Self-Powered Technology-No Need Additional Power Supply (FS-H2-Pro)

I read a lot of reviews of different internal USB PCI expansion cards. And so I choose this one. My machine is a dual boot machine running windows 8 and 10. Simple to install, open the can, remove the PCI slot cover plate on the back of the can and dropped in the card. I had no problem plugging in the two cables, seemed sturdy. This is a small card not much to it, I treated it gently. Fired up the machine in Windows 8 mode first, and no issues. Detected and worked right off. Restarted the machine in Windows 10 mode, and again no issues. I guess I got lucky as my card came with a driver CD, instructions, short cover plate, and a screw. Great little USB 3.0 card.

As the title says. Got this to be able to use the front USB ports on the 5.25" card reader in my PC after running out of motherboard USB headers.

Nothing to dislike

I needed this pcie expansion card to go into an old desktop to enable front mount USB three plugs without additional Molex or SATA power connectors. This worked fine out of the box with Windows 10 and in Xubuntu 24.04. Note that there were no native drivers in Ubuntu Mate or Kubuntu. I did not test it with Windows 11. There is a small CD of drivers included.

I have a Mobo that only has one USB 3.0 header (which supports two USB 3.0 ports) and my case has 4 front USB 3.0 ports. I was tired of half of my front ports not working so along with some other work I did on my PC I added this adapter. I originally plugged two USB 3.0 cables into this board but then thought I had a different option that wouldn't require this board at all (I was wrong) so I attempted to remove the plugs from the board. Now I am capable of not breaking things in situations like this, but it got frustrating so I just gave it the old just pull harder and the plastic housing that receives the cable plug came off the board for one of the headers. I managed to remove the other one without breaking anything else, but it required a concerted effort and some finesse. All that done I'm only using one of the headers. They both still work one just doesn't have the plastic housing around it to hold the plug, and that's actually the one I'm using so that there are just naked pins sitting there waiting to get shorted out or damaged. I painted the ugly chrome I/O shield to match my case. It screws off easily and even comes with a shorter height shield for different types of cases. All in all this is a "fine" product. Not too expensive, it works, a little cheap in some ways.
