🔌 Inateck PCIe to USB 3.0 Expansion Card - High-Speed Desktop Adapter for Windows XP/7/8/10 - 4 Ports, No Extra Power Required Review

I was going to put this into a new build I got with Windows 10, but then I realized that the file server I was building at the same time (which is an older computer) only had USB 2.0. So I decided to put it in this machine instead since I have a lot of old 2TB USB sticks. This old computer runs Windows 7. The computer didn't have a CD/DVD drive, so I couldn't insert the driver CD that came with it to start it up. But it seemed (at first) to find the card and install drivers for it. I hooked up…

I installed this on a Dell Optiplex in a PCI v2.0 1x slot. The operating system was already installed and when I rebooted the Linux drivers picked up the device.

He feeds everything! I specifically wanted this device because it doesn't require any additional power as the distance between my GPU and my latest PCIE is very short and I didn't want cables rubbing against my GPU…

This is a great addition to my desktop system. I added it to use my new external hard drive and I think I made the right choice this time. The USB 3.0 speed of this card is remarkable. This is the second USB 3.0 card I'm using. I'm sorry to say that the first one didn't work for me. I had to buy it for the FIRST TIME! Installation was very easy. If you need driver update for it just go to their website and I'm sure you can download everything you need for free. past, but it was not necessary…
