Review on 💻 FebSmart FS-A3C2-Pro 2X USB-C & 3X USB-A 10Gbps Ports PCIE USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card with Self-Powered Technology for Windows Server, 7, 8.1, 10, MAC OS 10.9 to 10.15 by Shawn Torres

The card is relatively easy to install, depending on the system. In our case, it installed quite well for a Windows 10 system (the moment the PC booted into Windows, it was ready to use). It offers quite a bit of flexibility in port assignment (their other card, all USB-A, should probably be identical to this one in terms of performance, so this test will cover both options except for the "type" of ports). gets going, this card has you covered. You should be able to get the most out of your external SSDs. At least up to the USB 3.2 limit in general. TB3 or 4 will be your only acceleration solution until USB4 comes out. This is a great 3.2 solution for systems that need more ports. Where the card fails is in the power supply. PCIe can only deliver a certain amount of power. So if you need a lot of charging capacity with such cards, they generally need to have a connection from your power supply to provide that extra power (e.g. for QC-enabled devices or PD). This card *doesn't* offer that connection, so your charging options are pretty basic. Therefore, these cards are best suited for those looking for high data transfer speeds but not for those looking to charge their devices. It's also important to note that the pipeline for these ports is shared. So it will affect your performance if you have multiple high speed devices connected and they are all running at the same time (it's a hub). Just a warning. ** If our review was helpful to you, please vote for it below so we know. This helps us to provide quality feedback in the future.
