Do not buy this for network cards

Connected to 2 different motherboards and it immediately trips the voltage protection and the boards won't turn on. Different slots, different circuit boards, multiple power packs, voltage protection takes effect immediately when installing this card. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Everything is fine

This may work on your system.

I read another guy's review of this card without even letting the motherboard post. I saw his review before I bought it and bought it anyway, thinking it was a far off problem. I'm a big Startech fan and usually buy their brand whenever I can, but stay away from this card. I've ordered a replacement and will update my rating if it works, but if you're reading this and it's still a 1 star rating, CHOOSE ANOTHER BRAND. I also suspect that a used product was sent to me.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Update possibility
