Review on ⚡️ YEELIYA PCI-E to Type C (2) & Type A (3) USB 3.0 5-Port Expansion Card - Expand Your PC with 2 Type C and 3 Type A USB Ports + Internal 19-Pin Connector - Compatible with Windows 7/8/10/XP/Vista by Frank Nguyen

I bought this card because I wanted to be able to pass the entire USB controller to the virtual machines I run on my run server. It is very well suited for this purpose as it uses the Fresco Logic FL1100 USB 3.0 host controller chipset which makes it compatible with most operating systems including Mac, Windows, Linux. - Internal USB 3.0 connector for two more USB ports. Cons: - Not straight USB Type-C (only USB 3.0 on Type-C ports) - Poor soldering on ALL multi-pin connectors - Bracket needs to be bent properly to use. The first thing that struck me about this board is the very high quality PCB. This quality is not often found at this price. The next thing I noticed was the bracket was bent and I had to straighten it first to fit my case and the USB devices in their slots. The card worked great the first time I used it and I was satisfied. However, after a few days, the map began to intermittently wreak havoc when I started my virtual machine. I took out the card and checked the soldering. While the surface soldering is excellent, I noticed that none of the multi-pin headers were soldered properly (power, USB 3.0 USB-C, USB port). Neither of them had solder for each pin. One of my USB-C connectors literally had no solder on one of the pins (only the body of the connector was soldered to hold it in place). Luckily I'm a video engineer and also repair SMDs for a living, so I re-soldered every pin on every multi-pin header. Since then, the card has worked flawlessly, which I'm very happy about. I wouldn't be happy if I didn't know how to share contacts. I chose this card mainly because of the internal USB 3.0 connector (at this price point) so that I could connect two USB 3.0 ports to it from the front of my server case. It's great, but I have one small complaint. There is no physical fastening system on the board to secure the USB connector; The only thing holding the header is 20 pins for electrical connection to the header. A different header with brackets would be a better design. I plan to take the card back out and put some epoxy between the connector and the board to make it more solid. When I bought the card, I wrongly assumed that the USB Type-C ports were real USB Type-C ports and not just plugged in. to a USB 3.0 hub. One factor in choosing this card over others was its USB Type-C capability. However, at this price I would probably still choose this card even if I knew USB-C isn't really there. I'm not using anything that requires USB-C yet, so having a port converter built into the card is still a plus. This card is near excellent and I would give it five stars if the multi-pin headers were soldered. To the right. If they streamline production in this area a bit, they get a near-perfect card at a very attractive price. I was hesitant to rate this card 2-5 stars because for other users bad soldering of the multi-pin headers would render this card unusable, but for me it's very high quality at a low price with little work.
