Review on πŸ”Œ High-Speed 7-Port PCI-E USB 3.0 Expansion Card with Type C (2) and Type A (5) Ports - For Windows and Mac Pro Desktops by Darby Perkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

USB-C DOES NOT support video pass-through

This card's Type-C connectors DO NOT support video pass-through. What does that mean? USB-C to HDMI and USB-C to DisplayPort adapters just don't work. Windows recognizes them as generic billboards and not video adapters because the cards do not negotiate ALTERNATIVE modes. The seller claims that a Thunderbolt card is required for video transmission. Type A ports carry video and work with video adapters.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
