Review on πŸ”Œ High-performance Dual HDMI M.2 Card by Magewell for Eco Capture by Bob Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well with my Dell XPS 8930

There was one M.2 board and two dedicated HDMI cables in the box. I installed it in my Dell XPS 8930 but no screw was included to attach the board. Luckily, I found a tiny screw in a pile of screws left over from working on Macs. The HDMI cable bracket was not included and I took it from an old computer with two SATA cables and it worked. Unfortunately the cables are very short and run in front of my Nvidia 1050Ti card. As soon as I loaded the Magewell driver, my Wirecast software immediately recognized the two HDMI ports. I noticed that there are now 2 HDMI and 2 audio ports. Aside from the lack of hardware, I recommend this board for the higher speed at which the M.2 port can transfer data to the CPU without bypassing the PCIe bus.

Pros
  • M.2 2280 Type M (PCIe Gen2 x4)
Cons
  • Weak kit
