Buyers Beware: Computers and Accessories

There are two issues with this card that make it a "cautious buyer": 1. Compatibility/removal issue. After installation (before realizing problem #2) I started getting crashes on all USB devices, devices I had never encountered before. 2. Where my computer is located, access to the back is not the easiest. I installed the card and then got back to work before trying to plug anything into it - then I started getting all the "crashes" on other USB devices (that weren't connected to the card and I've never had crashes). ). When trying to move some devices around to isolate the card as the problem, I found that I couldn't even connect USB devices to it because the USB slots in the card slot were too wide (vertical) (see image). Not only is the card unusable, but it also causes additional problems. Yes, at first glance, the value is good, but with possible compatibility and usability issues, I strongly recommend you to look for the best price, because the value is not only in the price, but also in the time spent.
