Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Inateck PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card: Enhance Speed with 20 Gbps Bandwidth, 5 Ports - 3 Type-A, 2 Type-C, RedComets U21 by David Mcdonald

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So this is a USB 3.X card.

I thought the other reviewers might be doing something weird or their systems were too old, but here I am, an IT pro, checking it out on a computer that's less than two years old.1: Plugged in and it worked in 30 seconds, wonderful 5 stars. 2: connected a couple of flash drives, mouse, everything seems to be working. 3: you unplugged it, plugged in a usb 3.2 gen 2 cable and into quest 2 VR (the main reason for the upgrade) 4: win, except no, because like the other reviewer it only gets 1.6 Gb/s (or less) over USB transfer. is.6: I'm wondering why my USB 3.0 slot gets 1.9 but USB 3.1 Gen 2 gets 1.6. seems suspicious, I don't know if this is false advertising, but they actually use an old 3.1 (or 3.0) chip. Other than that, it's a /A/usb 3.x hub and seems to work fine for that. Just don't expect the full speed that most people buy it for.

Pros
  • High-speed data transfer: The USB Type-A connector next to the PCIe interface only uses a bandwidth of 10Gbps. The remaining four USB ports share 10Gbps bandwidth, and each port can reach 10Gbps when used alone.
Cons
  • Quality
