Couldn't be happier.

Just perfect for my needs. If only I had more PCI slots for one more. - Eliminated ground loop noise on my tube amp connected to my computer via USB. Not sure why that is, I'm hooked up to a clean power source like a Furman power conditioner, I have RCA cords to eliminate hum and an AudioQuest Jitterbug and a Dragontail, for some reason hooking it up makes it work to this USB it absolutely silent. I wasn't expecting this, but I'm so tired of ground loop noise and trying to figure it out that I won't look a gift horse in the mouth and admit it's just magic. - Works with my Windows Mixed Reality Headset (Dell) without messing around with drivers and the many error codes I get weekly - USB 3.0 A port worked great for my Oculus Quest Link cable, unfortunately port C was not compatible as it was not compatible was not a new generation USB 3 card that met the minimum requirements. I have used other USB 3.0 cards in Revain and had to return them because my Windows Mixed Reality headset is too demanding on the drivers and none of them seemed to work right after installation. Box without much effort. It's a keeper!
