Quite a good PCI-E card at a very fair price,
This PCI-E card works as well as my WD USB 3.0 PCI-E card, but at a far lower price with 2 additional USB 3.0 ports.
It’s also very easy to install: Shut down PC and installed Card in the PCI-E slot (both PCI-E X1 and PCI-E 16 will be OK) , then turn on the PC, insert CD and run the driver application. I’m seeing speeds ranging from 60MB to 90MB per second, that’s Markedly faster than USB 2.0 ports.

|USB 3.0 Expansion Card,
I received this item as a gift because I badly needed more USB ports.
Admit it, USB ports are one of those things you can’t have to many of. Seems like computers now a days are limiting the number of ports they come with. I recently got a top of the line HP Windows 7 Pavilion i7 and it only came with 5 ports. That is hardly enough to even get me started. I was using a USG hub, but I knew a PCI card was a better alternative to go.
Installation was simple, just insert the card (plug and play) and install the program from the CD. Uses a standard 4-pin Molex connector to power USB devices from your PC power supply so does not require any external power sources. It can draw all the required power from the PCI-E slot. That was it and I was ready to go. I plugged in my USB 3.0 external hard drive (which I use for my daily backups), my webcam, and all my of my other USB accessories I have connected to my tower.
Honestly I have no clue what rates, speeds or mumble jumbo are since I am not a techie kinda person. All I know is that I have had no hang-ups or lag times when running my applications and hardware. It was extremely easy to install on my Windows 7 64-bit OS computer and the PCI-E card itself seems nicely made. I think the Uspeed Superspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E Card is worth it because going out and buying a new USB 3.0 enable motherboard is expensive and hassle and not worth it. With the card you can just pop it in and go, and you might as well make it a USB 3.0 that is backwards compatible to 2.0.
It does loses a star for not having more detailed instructions. There is small printed sentence one the outside of the box that states to “Set up PCIE card and then install CD drive”. I knew from previous experience how to install the card, but if this is the first time for someone who has never done this it would be VERY confusing. There should be some kind of written instructions enclosed with the card.

|Uspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E -port 4card WORKS but needs POWER!,
Uspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E -port 4card WORKS but needs POWER!
Will not work without the power connected. If you only have sata power connectors as provided on newer PC’s you will have to buy a SATA Power (15-pin Male) to 4-pin Molex (Male) adapter cable which is NOT INCLUDED.
There are no instructions. You must install the card first, connect the power and then install the software. The card works great.
