StarTechcom 5-Port USB PCIe Card, USB 3.2 10Gbps, PCI Express Card with 4X USB-C Ports, 1x USB-A Internal Port

Absolutely phenomenal. Completely solved the problem of my MSI motherboard constantly switching USB 3.x ports to USB 2.0. And the SATA power keeps my Quest 3 humming along.

Works perfectly, plain and simple... install and done.Connected:- IPad Mini -- for powered charging- Logi+ Brio camera- RØDECASTER DupEven took advantage of the internal USB port for a Seagate SSD to sit inside case.

Simple installation as long as you have the correct slot in the pc.Works fine with 4 external drives.

It was an easy installation. I did add a power connection as recommended. I currently have 2 permanently connected external SSD drives connected; an 8TB and a 16 TB. The system (Windows) has been completely stable unlike when I was using a UCB C hub for the two external drives.

Won't fit into my PCI-E slot. Cannot install. "Quick-Start Guide" provides NO ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONS, merely a QR code that leads back to this product purchase page. And, in the process, it scratched up my motherboard. THANKS FOR NOTHING!UPDATE: Finally got the darn thing seated in my system but, not only did it not help, it destroyed my audio. I know it's the culprit, because it's the ONLY change I made to the system, and now i have no sound from my speakers or anything I plug into my system. Additionally, though Device Manager indicates everything is working properly, the device does not recognize anything plugged into the c-ports. I'm going to smash this device with a hammer and record it for YouTube. WORST DEVICE EVER.ANOTHER UPDATE: I downloaded the driver package from their website but, when attempting to install the driver, "This driver does not support your device." Really? Windows 11 version 24H2, fully updated as of 5/25/25, and it doesn't support my device? Where's my hammer and webcam?

Mine did not install easily. Windows 11 had trouble recognizing it. I downloaded their driver's, device manager looked fine, but my usb-c drive was not seen. Un-installed it. Re-installed it, same thing. After a few minutes went back to device manager, I noticed 'unrecognized device'... I hit update driver, pointed it at the downloaded driver folder and finally got everything to work. Speeds are great and everything is working now.

Works great for adding USB-C to a computer that did not previously have it. This (as far as I know) does not give you any thunderbolt compatibility, but it does give you USB-C.

I feel silly reviewing Startech items, as I've used them for much of this century so far and never had a complaint. This adapter is no exception.This adapter won't give you Thunderbolt of course, but four external 10 gigabit USB 3 type C ports with 15 watts of power each, and an internal USB 2 type A port with 7.5 watts, is a great way to give a slightly older PC some extra life and expandability. The SATA power supplement from your PSU makes that 60+ watt power possible.I'm using the internal port to hold a USB drive with an OS image for emergency reinstalls/repairs, and will hang modern SSDs off the external ones. And since I'm doing this in a SFF PC, I'm glad the adapter comes with a low profile bracket , and it was fairly easy to swap out the pre-installed full-height bracket.You can get cards like this for less than the current $70 listed price, but you're probably not going to get the same speed and power.
