Good product, exactly what it promises.

Good product, it's not that long ago but it works great even in power intensive applications. I use it for my Oculus Rift S.

Pros
  • I/O connector cards
Cons
  • Not sure

Asmedia 1142 on USB Port Cards

So when I was trying to find drivers to keep this thing from crashing my computer with the latest Windows 10 update, I found that it was an Asmedia 1142, not a 2142. I don't know what that means, but I find it misleading and confusing. Definitely look at the station drivers (French site) and you can find a utility that will change the firmware and turn off the power management that seems to stop the blue screens.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • High Price

Works as it should, install drivers manually.

It was reported that the card failed to initialize on first boot after installation, but Windows 10 installed a generic driver and it was usable but slow. The included driver installer repeatedly stated that the driver was not compatible. Speed with standard was faster than 2.0 but not significant. I wanted to return it but decided to install the driver manually. Updated the current driver with the Windows 10 driver INF file and added the USB hub which had the correct driver matching the one on

However, it works as expected

I could not boot a bootable USB device when it was plugged into any port on this card. Not sure if the BIOS just can't see it because it's on the PCI bus or something.

Pros
  • Internal
Cons
  • Very expensive
