1X 19Pin USB 3.0 IDC Header and 2X USB-A Ports-PCIE USB 3.0 Card for Windows Server, XP, Vista,7,8,8.1,10 PCs-Build in Self-Powered Technology-No Need Additional Power Supply (FS-HA-Pro)

I needed this pcie expansion card to go into an old desktop to enable front mount USB three plugs without additional Molex or SATA power connectors. This worked fine out of the box with Windows 10 and in Xubuntu 24.04. Note that there were no native drivers in Ubuntu Mate or Kubuntu. I did not test it with Windows 11. There is a small CD of drivers included.

Worked perfectly right out of the box! Window 10 recognized it right off the bat and I was up and running in seconds. Self powered in my opinion is the only way to go. No searching around for an extra Sata cable! Recommend this product highly!

As you have read elseware this card has some solder issues with the USB 3.0 Header. However my card arrived in tact and as long as your careful and not too forceful plugging things in you should be fine. I didn't have do anything else but plug it in and boot up my PC. The two ports work fine and I'm using the extra header to power the USB-C port on my case.

I bent one of the pins on my motherboard connector, making one of the ports not work. (In my defense, it's in a really cramped location.) I don't really need it, but it bugged me having that dead port on the front of the case and this solved that annoyance -- plus added a few rear ports.

I bought one of those refurb HP Desktop business computers to run a Plex server on. Unfortunately it came with like 10 USB 2.0 ports, but no USB 3.0 ports. I was only getting 20 Mb/s transferring files to the server on a 1 Gb/s ethernet connection. I installed this board with its mini-slot bracket, plugged my two USB 3.0 drives into it, and fired up the computer. Now files transfer at 80-90 Mb/s, so I am a happy camper. Using Windows 10 Pro, and it was plug and play.
