Simple Installation. Comes with a screwdriver and a screw. Truly Plug & Play with Windows 10 if your Motherboard already has support for NVMe. Does not even look for a driver, it just works. Great way to add fast NVMe drives.
- Gen 4 Speed - Nice fit and finish
Easy install, works as expected.
-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu
Works great with my WD SSD
- 7 ports. The internal port may seem kind of useless to some. However I have an ASUS X58 chipset board and those do not have a TPM. So, in order to enable Bitlocker, you need to create a "key" USB stick. This stick has to always be in the machine to boot to windows. Now that USB stick no longer takes up a port on the back of the PC. - FAST. Performing an Acronis image backup of 500GB now takes ~2 hours instead of 5.5. These backups are written to 2TB WD MyBook USB 3.0 drives. It would be even faster if I could ever convince management that mechanical drives are not the best answer... File copies from USB 3.0 stick to USB 3.0 stick of ~64GB (lab data, small files) takes about 2 minutes now. - Price. For what this card does in this environment (small research lab, no real data-center), the price was right on point.
No drivers to set up. Plug and play using windows 10. Very fast USB 3.0 speed
