Review on ๐Ÿ’ป ELUTENG PCIe USB 3.0 Card with 4 Ports Expansion - Super Speed 5Gbps PCI Express USB3 Hub Controller Adapter for Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP/Vista - Self Powered - No Additional Power Supply Required by Richard Gallagher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good speeds - much better than USB 2.0!

After fighting (and almost giving back) this for my DL380p Gen8 server on one of the PCIe 3.0 ports, I remembered that it has a PCIe 2.0 slot. So before I put it back in the box, I tried it - it works! No driver updates or kernel modifications required! I tested transferring 18GB video files and averaged about 120MB/s in 2.5 minutes. I will take it. I've already connected a few drives to this port, but I don't think I can hit the 500MB/s limit on a PCIe 2.0 port. Great performance for the price! :)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Everything is great
