Review on πŸ’» SIIG's Legacy and Beyond Series PCIe to USB 3.0 7-Port PCI Express Card for External PCIe Host, with UASP Support by Jeff Olson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

If USB 3.0 speed is important to you - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

1. If you need USB 3.0 speed/bandwidth, forget this card. You can google the VIA chipset yourself to see that VIA is the slowest USB 3.0. Oculus sensors work well with USB 2.0, but not with this so-called USB 3.0.2 chipset. I've been using this USB stick for a while. External power supply adds nothing to its performance. It still drops some ports and crashes from time to time. I don't know why it is connected to an external power supply at all.3. There is no official VIA support for this chipset in Windows 10. They want you to be completely dependent on Microsoft drivers. This "no-backing" approach by the chipset maker demands a boycott from consumers.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Blank
