Review on πŸ’» Enhance Your Mac Pro with Inateck's 2 Port PCIe USB 3.0 Card - Expand Your USB 3.0 Ports Hassle-Free! by James Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Helped me bring a dinosaur to life.

In May, decided to revitalize an unused 8-9 year old Compaq Presario desktop PC by booting Linux Mint, replacing the broken front USB ports, and installing this PCI-E USB Express card. The price, the internal USB slot that allowed me to fix/upgrade the two front USB slots, the two rear external slots, and the fact that I didn't want to mess with another internal power cable were all my reasons for this choice card. The installation of the PCI-E card went smoothly and all slots worked. Just connected my iPhone via port 3.0 and I charged my Anker Bluetooth speaker overnight. I don't usually charge devices with my computer. However. Overall, I'm excited about this PCI-E card because it helped me revitalize an old PC and stopped me from buying a Chromebook.
