Not for quest reference but great for low profile SSD board

This adapter is not fast enough to run Oculus Link in Quest 2 but it will run SanDisk Extreme Pro V2 at full speed, great buy and price.

Pros
  • . Standard size PCIe bracket on board and low profile PCIe bracket included. A PCIe 3.0 x4 card is installed in a PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot.
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Check your advanced power settings

Works and is good value. If you are using Windows 10, you need to check advanced power management settings. If you put the card to sleep/sleep mode, you get output power but cannot connect. The only thing that bothers me is that the port is too close to the edge. I can pop my USB cable and snap it because it's too close to the edge of my PC case/rear card slots. I bought a USB4 cable and it seems to work pretty well with my 20GB nvme case. .

Pros
  • Built with ASMedia ASM3242. Fully compliant with RoHS requirements. Note. The card does not support DP Alternate Mode or USB Power Delivery.
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging

Great but. for USB connection cards

I needed to download a special (non-MFG) driver. I couldn't get the speed I wanted until I surfed for a while to find a driver for it. (I use Mob AMD Threadripper). The drive wouldn't let me update the driver because win 10 always thinks it has the best driver whether you like it or not. However, after some fiddling, I got it working at 20Gbps. LOVE IT.

Pros
  • Equipped with a 15-pin SATA power connector for powering any USB device via a PC power supply unit. This ensures stable performance during high-speed transmission.
Cons
  • 0
