Big increase in performance

I bought this expansion card to use with my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. When I play games, I usually work 5-8 hours at a time. Even when plugged into a USB 3.0 port, it will eventually shut down. This board, when paired with a USB-C 3.1Gen2 cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083DGC3Q3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), greatly improved battery life. After 5 hours of play, my battery only dropped to 97%. But please be careful with this card and that's also the reason I had to give it a bad review in the end. Be extremely careful when connecting the Sata power cable to the card. The SATA port on the expansion board is poorly populated. It doesn't take long before you accidentally press too hard and the connector comes loose.
