"Blazing Fast Data Transfer: A Must-Have Computer Component

This adapter has significantly increased the speed of my data transfers between my laptops and PCs .The installation was a breeze, and it works seamlessly with my computers. The compact design makes it easy to take with me while I am on the go. However it only has one port, so I need to unplug it if I need to connect other USB devices at the same time. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants faster data transfer speeds between their computers..

Pros
  • Provides SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity for laptops and desktops through Mini PCI Express slot
Cons
  • Requires an available Mini PCI Express slot, making it incompatible with some computers

works BUT had problems with my mobo

I bought this because my motherboard offers an MPCIe & Msata (Asus MAXIMUS V GENE) combo slot. It works with this card. It runs on a Renesas chipset (it might be important for some to know, for example the Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 Tech Sheet states that they base this product on a Renesas chip, it MAY work with others but they only guarantee a Renesas chip). It has a power connector that resembles a floppy disk power plug. Luckily I didn't cut it off my power supply like…

Pros
  • Internals
Cons
  • Not fancy
