Description of πŸ’» Inateck PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card: Enhance Speed with 20 Gbps Bandwidth, 5 Ports - 3 Type-A, 2 Type-C, RedComets U21

Multi-ports PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Card: The card offers three USB Type-A ports and two USB Type-C ports from PCIe x 4 slot. Fast-Speed Transfer: The USB Type-A port near the PCIe interface exclusively takes 10 Gbps bandwidth. The other four USB ports share 10 Gbps bandwidth, and each port can achieve 10 Gbps rate when used solely. Wide Compatibility: The extension card is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac OS 10.8.2 and above. Win 10, Mac OS, and Linux does not need any driver. It requires installing a driver when operating on Windows 7. Users can download the driver from our official website. Simple Installation: The product draws power directly from the PCIe slot on the motherboard. No external power adapter required, and hassle-free installation guaranteed. Safety First: The USB Type-A ports support a maximum 5W power, and the USB Type-C ports 15W. All come with over-current protection.

So this is a USB 3.X card.

I thought the other reviewers might be doing something weird or their systems were too old, but here I am, an IT pro, checking it out on a computer that's less than two years old.1: Plugged in and it worked in 30 seconds, wonderful 5 stars. 2: connected a couple of flash drives, mouse, everything seems to be working. 3: you unplugged it, plugged in a usb 3.2 gen 2 cable and into quest 2 VR (the main reason for the upgrade) 4: win, except no, because like the other reviewer it only gets 1.6 Gb/s

Pros
  • High-speed data transfer: The USB Type-A connector next to the PCIe interface only uses a bandwidth of 10Gbps. The remaining four USB ports share 10Gbps bandwidth, and each port can reach 10Gbps when used alone.
Cons
  • Quality

Does it work with Windows 10 64-bit - no drivers required

This card deserves a better start on Revain. Note. As another reviewer noted, you need a PCIe x4 slot for this card and I suspect it won't work if you have the slot physically x4 and wired to work at x1. Referring to other reviews: it worked right out of the box on first boot. USB-C ports tested and working. Bandwidth tested with my Brio at 4k 30FPS, works fine. I will keep testing. I recommend this card. If anything goes wrong I will update this review. Update: I had 2 of these cards, after…

Are you looking for drivers for Windows 7?

. I installed this RedComets U22 8+2 port card on my Windows 7 PC so I knew I had to install the drivers manually. The marketing says the drivers are available on the Inateck website. Well it isn't. There is a download area on the product page, which has been empty since September 2021. Drivers do not appear on Windows Update, and NEVER GO TO "DOWNLOAD DRIVERS" TRAFFIC WEBSITES! This is a great way to catch a virus. Solution: I found them and installed them perfectly using the U21 drivers found

Doesn't work on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

This Inateck KU-5211 card doesn't work on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I'm a very experienced computer user with an Electrical Engineering degree and have been working as a software developer for many years and still haven't been able to get this board to work properly! The only thing that works with this card is the built-in power indicator. I've tried different PCIe slots with no success. Windows automatically detected the card, but displayed a warning triangle with an exclamation mark saying the…

Pros
  • USB port cards
Cons
  • Almost never

Useful for something useful for computer components

If your motherboard doesn't have a x16 PCIE 4.0 card slot, you can't take full advantage of the performance of this PCIE expansion card. Open your motherboard manual and do some research to see if your motherboard can use the full potential of this card. Otherwise buy a much cheaper USB 3.0 PCIE expansion card; Ideally one that doesn't consume SATA power unnecessarily. And no, you don't need to use SATA power for this PCIE card to work properly. Call if there are other PCIE slots that can fully
