Easy install, Windows, works as advertised, may conflict with NVME

So it works fine for what I ordered it for. I installed it on a ROG Strix B550-F gaming motherboard and it works. I had a little trouble installing it, but I think it has more to do with the motherboard than anything else. I had to use my top PCI-E x1 because my front cable wasn't long enough to reach the other two slots. I want the board to be oriented to the right instead of the left. I installed it from the minidisk that came with it and even though my driver name didn't match, it installed the ASmedia controller with no problems. Could be related but my Corsair MP500 SSD no longer shows up in my BIOS or drive. Control. It worked when I had it on my x470 Asrock Promontory Gaming motherboard and it worked when I originally installed it here, but after installing it went away and the windows driver and controller stromnvme.sys suddenly reported a hardware or connection problem. I'm currently working on this with ASUS Tech Support, but so far everything I've tried hasn't worked. Overall it works and when I plug in my S21 Ultra 5G it charges super fast. I can plug in any of my USB-C peripherals and they work. Just note that the speed is capped at 10Gbps and it's USB-C 3.2 Gen 1. The only Gen 2 I see is from Silverstone, but the speeds aren't really needed for my use case.

Pros
  • I/O cards
Cons
  • Nothing
