PCI Express to USB3.0 Card

Pros
  • I/O Port Cards
Cons
  • Updates

A Few Words of Caution

First, if you google "Syba SY-PEX20124" you will find drivers for Windows 7. Second, this card may be supplied by another manufacturer and not necessarily Syba. The hardware is identical as far as I can tell. Since this card has rear connectors, you might be tempted to attach a USB cable to it without an actual USB device connected to the other end of the cable. In other words, you could choose to leave the cable plugged into the back of the device and just hang the other end somewhere on the…
