Plug and play best in Computers & Accessories

came quickly and does what I need. Basically I needed my Rocksmith USB cable to work on my current computer that I upgraded to and someone on the Steam forums recommended this card. works like a charm and I don't notice any lag. very satisfied.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Annoying

Does the job at a great price!

Job done! I was amazed at how many devices didn't work properly on my desktop computer (which only has USB 3.0 ports), especially considering that 3.0 was supposed to be fully backward compatible with 2.0 technology. This cheap card solved all my compatibility issues with audio interfaces and hardware designed specifically for USB 2.0!

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Windows 7 supported out of the box

This USB adapter is great for those who want to install Windows 7 on new motherboards that don't have a Windows 7 USB driver (e.g. Intel based motherboards ) Z390 ). Since these motherboards also do not have PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports, it is very important that Windows 7 supports USB ports natively. No one should be a technician to add additional drivers to a Windows 7 installation DVD or USB stick for other (usually USB 3.0) USB sticks.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

DAC and native USB 2.0

I have many USB DACs that are USB 2.0 certified, as are many others. Apparently there is a slight voltage change between USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. And the DAC can be sensitive to these differences. Immediately after installing this card in Windows 10, I noticed less popping noise. Windows 10 takes over the driver, did not need the supplied CD.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Protection

Not compatible with Windows 10 and causes problems.

The installation took a long time because it didn't work and then it was incompatible with Windows 10. In fact, my computer crashed 3 times. It also turned the screen black and prevented the computer from turning on. Thank goodness I knew I had to manually reset the power supply from the motherboard or I would have screwed it up. Yes, don't buy them. Also, the drivers are outdated and this product has been discontinued. I gave it 1 extra star because it can work with older systems. If you need…

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Some difficulties
