Solid function, rough design.

This is as advertised and fits into the slots very easily. I chose this for both Quest Link (although this is now obsolete) and to run some external C-to-C drives I have. The only issue I had was that the cutouts on the included bracket don't line up perfectly, making a single port exceptionally narrow and not able to accommodate many bulkier cables. I don't know if this is a universal problem or just one of the characteristics of my particular board.

Pros
  • USB port cards
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Great price, great support!

Easy to install, Win10 Pro automatically found the card and installed the drivers, no problem. I chose this card as I was also having trouble getting M/B USB 3.0 to work coherently with the Rift S. Now my Rift S connects correctly every time I start it, hopefully it stays that way. So far, so good.

Pros
  • I/O Port Cards
Cons
  • Hard to tell

BEYIMEI PCI-Express 4X to USB 3.1 Gen 2

Windows 10 auto-detected this card. The supplied drivers were required for Windows 7 and worked perfectly. No hassle at all; installed card, installed driver (win7 only) and usb ports worked. I was transferring data to and from an external Toshiba USB drive that is several years old and has a speed of 90-100 Mbit/s. It's not 10Gbps, but the system is old (no USB 3.0 ports at all) and as I mentioned I was using an outdated USB drive so I can't verify if it really supports X Gbps.

Pros
  • Computer and Accessories
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unexpected speed.

Does not show speed of 10 Gps. Even if all drivers and electricity are installed. I can only get 440Mbps knowing I can get 860Mbps on my Mac with my M.2 portable drive. It also works, but I can only see the default 3.0 speed. Useless to me.

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Long wait

Didn't work for me on large files: low transfer rate and 0x8007045d error

I'm not sure why it didn't work for me so I'm returning it. I have a very fast USB-C drive and it was very slow on that card and I got 0x8007045d errors every time I tried to copy something big so I returned it. The ports are fairly close to the edge but managed to fully seat the cables. I've tried reinstalling the card in the x16 slot 4 times and got pretty much the same results each time. Very strange.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • piggy bank price

Great addition to MacPro 5.1 2009-2012

PnP in Mac Pro 5.1 with Mojave (slot #4). 10G on both ports. This board uses the ASMedia ASM3142 (latest) chipset and the driver is part of macOS 12.6 and later. See attached SysInfo. Optional: cMP requires a 15-pin SATA power cable if you want to charge an external device.

Pros
  • Internal
Cons
  • Very expensive
