Very happy - computers and accessories

PROS Well done, meets all expectations and compatibility was not an issue as my Mac Pro 5.1 (3.33) works with most USB3 and especially PCIe Express Maps can be picky. This product uses a 16x line. NEGATIVES While the system information definitely shows up as USB 3.1, the ASM1351 reports a maximum speed of 5 GB/s, which conforms to the 3.0 standard. I'm glad to have a working 3.0 standard that is compatible, but was hoping that higher speeds would be available with a '3.1' rated card. I'm using a 3.1 rated Powered Dock that spins the hard drive at 7500 RPM.

Pros
