Simple USB 3.0 card that works great

I installed this card on an old server to support an external USB 3.0 enclosure for backups and it just works. There were no drivers to install (Windows Server 2016) and it showed up with no problems. So far, so good. Unlike many USB 3.0 cards that have an additional power connector, this one doesn't. Which is great for me since the server I'm using doesn't have standard power cords anyway. But just be aware of that beforehand. Don't plan on using them for high power devices - only for low power devices (USB 2.0 limitations) or devices that have their own power source e.g. B. a larger external housing. It comes with a half-height mount that you can replace, which I did. Easy replacement of the pre-installed full-height bracket.
