Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Sintech PCI-E 4X to USB 3.0 Adapter with Asmedia Chipset ASM3142 - PCI Express Type C Gen 2 Expansion Card by Daniel Pierce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, quality and easy installation.

Bought 2 of these to connect to my 5x 4-bay Mediasonic cases. Both cards recognized all hard drives in Windows 10 on ASRock Phantom Gaming 6 and 7 motherboards. The card uses ASM3142 chipset and is shown correctly in Device Manager as 3.1 xHCI, which is the latest USB 3.1 Gen 2 chipset from ASMedia, without having to install drivers. Depending on the drive used (5400 vs. 7200 rpm) I get between 125MB and 175MB, which is really impressive for non-SSD drives. So far I'm very happy with the price, quality and ease of installation. It even has a SATA power connector, which I also used in case the device needed it. I'm definitely looking forward to them coming out with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for 20Gb/s speeds.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
