There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The transfer speeds are excellent, delivering the high-performance 20Gbps speeds promised. It's been a significant upgrade from my previous USB ports, especially when dealing with large file transfers and high-bandwidth peripherals.
Overall, this PCIe card is a fantastic addition for anyone looking to boost their system's USB performance. The easy installation and impressive speed make it a great choice for both casual users and those needing top-tier performance. Highly recommended!
Installing the card was easy, it is tiny, and worked almost straightaway. I forgot that if I use the last PCIe slot, one of the M.2 slot will be disabled. So I had to move the M.2 SSD from the slot that shares the PCIe lane with the x4 slot to another M.2 slot. Restarted the PC, windows automatically installed the driver needed.
Just as I thought, the card works faster than the built-in one, since it got the full x4 lane. It might work even better if I install it in the 2nd 16X slot, but I have a RAID controller installed there so couldn't do that.
There was a nice 400MB/s bump, and the Acer Predator 4TB SSD installed in a Yottamaster 20GBps NVMe enclosure reached 2000MB/s on both read/write, which is sweet! Now I have 4 SSDs which can do my backups very very fast.
A great card, works very well, and a no hassle installation. Just give it a slot where it can use PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes, and you are good to go. Also, a good 20GBps cable is recommended.

I am not expecting 20Gbps on everything but something is wrong with this card that it can't even match my motherboards usb-c 3.2 port.
This card does provide 15W of power which is great because the battery stays full during PCVR gaming.
Top reviews from other countries
Connected my Meta Quest 2 VR headset using the UGREEN 16ft USB-C cable for VR.
Works perfectly, running PC VR games at max refresh rate 120Hz, & battery stays at 100%.
The card is picked up by Linux immediately and the drives in the enclosure are all detected (certain other cards have random detection failures for some, not all, end devices).
The QNAP management software likes this card, with no warnings on link speed or compatibility.
Accessing individual drives sequentially, the maximum speed of the drives is reached.
Testing access to all drives simultaneously achieved the 10 Gbps of the QNAP link.
Very happy with this card and it has been running smoothly for 2 months now.
