Color: 2x Type-C Internal 20-pin Key-A


Features

  • Two Type-C Internal Key A downstream connectors. Up to 10Gbps data transfer speed, twice as fast as USB 3.0.
  • Low Profile board. Include both Low Profile and Regular Size PCIe brackets. PCIe x4 card fits in any PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0 x4 or x8 or x16 slot.

  • Works in Mac Pro 2010
Color: 1x USB-A + 1x USB-C [ASM3142]
This is my initial "day one" review; I might update it after some months of usage. I got this card, despite cheaper but feature-identical alternatives, because this was is known-compatible with macOS. In my case, it worked right out of the box without any driver installations or other issues. Installation wasn't trivial, but that's due to Apple, not any problem with this card. The Mac Pro Mid 2010 (5,1) has no readily accessible SATA headers and cables coming off the motherboard, but this card needs SATA power. So, I had to get into the optical drive part of the case, undo the combined SATA data/power connector from one of them; run a SATA data extension from the data half of that back to the ODD; use a SATA power Y splitter, and connect half of that back to the ODD, then run the other half into the main section of the case, and use a SATA power extension to reach my new USB 3 card. It's a bit Rube Goldberg. Put the machine back together, connected a USB-C hub/dock that I ordered to the card's C port, and connected my 5-disk external USB 3 enclosure to the USB-A port on the card. Fired up the machine, got right to desktop without any kind of delay, and every device is showing up exactly as it should (so, 6 drives total that were formerly on USB 2.0 are now through USB 3 A/C). My aging but rather over-powered 12-core, 64 MB RAM Mac just got a new lease on life, especially now that I'm booting off an SSD, and have my main game and other "monster" apps that load a lot of data on another SSD. It was painful to be using USB 2 for external storage (like several minutes to copy over a single movie). WAY faster now. I do not expect I'll get the theoretical maximum of 10 Gb/s, but am expecting over 5. Will try to set up some controlled benchmarking of random and sequential reads and writes in different circumstances (from/to my boot SSD, from/to an internal 7200 RPM HDD, from/to another external HDD drive attached to the same card, etc.). Might test some app stuff, like speed to reload a suspended VM. And I should get another SSD and see how it does when mediated by this card. ... show more

  • Internal USB-C header card actually works, one with external ports does not
Color: 2x Type-C Internal 20-pin Key-A
I purchased two models of this card, but Amazon will not let me leave two different reviews, so I'm averaging the reviews to 3, but please read on for details. I'd been having a hard time finding a PCIe USB-C card that works well with my Logitech StreamCam. I purchased several cards, and multiple of them did not work well. The StreamCam would either show up as a USB 2 device and not be able to do 60fps, or experience other weird problems that slowed the frame rate down to 5fps at 1080p, leaving lots of USB, v42l, and alsa kernel messages in dmesg. The camera works fine with a laptop that has built-in USB-C, and also works fine in a USB 3.0 port of my desktop using a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter, but I wanted to plug it straight in. Out of the first three cards that I'd tried, the version of this card with the internal USB-C header actually worked! I'm using this with a define R6 USB-C case, and it makes the USB-C port on my case work. Not great for charging (Ampere on my Pixel 3 reports ~700 mA charging rate), but seems to work with the StreamCam using Arch linux on an Asrock EPYCD8-2T motherboard. Maybe my one complaint is that the headers face left, so you basically need to leave an empty PCIe slot to the left of this card. Excited about this success, I decided to buy the model of this card that has two external USB-C ports, even though it was more expensive than the others I'd tried. Unfortunately, the card with external USB-C ports was the worst of the bunch. Not only does it not work with the StreamCam, it actually destabilizes the whole USB subsystem. Even if I don't plug anything into the card, just having it in my machine makes the camera not work well in my motherboard's built-in USB-A ports! So what to conclude? Maybe there is poor quality control, or maybe one model is better than the other. However, I'm going to send the card with external ports back. ... show more

  • Card installs fine, works a bit, then vanishes
Color: 1x USB-A + 1x USB-C [ASM3142]
Note: this review went from five stars to three stars, as documented in the updates. The built-in USB 3.0 port on my Dell Precision workstation provided poor frame rates to an attached microscope camera. Web searches turned up other users with similar issues but no workable solutions. My attempted solution was this USB 3.1 PCI-e card. Plugged it into an appropriate slot and hooked up the camera. Had to reboot the system to activate the driver and recognize the camera. But after that, fast frame rates as specified on the camera's datasheet. *** UPDATED May 22, 2019 *** I discovered that upon sleeping the PC, the Device (ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller) was missing when the PC was later awakened. It required restarting the PC to bring the USB3.1 device back again. Further study of the Device Manager turned up another device associated with the ASMedia, a root hub. This device had Power Management options which had been defaulted to "Turn off this device to save power". Unchecking that option permitted the USB3.1 device to survive sleeping the PC. *** UPDATED May 23, 2019 *** Well, it wasn't quite so simple. After I thought it was all sorted, the AsMedia USB 3.1 interface disappeared entirely and didn't even return following a PC restart. After extensive fooling around with PCI buss utilities etc., I came to suspect that the original "Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller" device, that was built into the workstation, was somehow masking my new USB 3.1 PCI-e card. So I disabled the Renesas device (in Device Manager) and poof! The ASMedia USB 3.1 devices reappeared. They persisted even over a test PC sleep/awaken cycle. So far, so good but I'll be keeping an eye on it. *** UPDATED May 24, 2019 *** Alas, the day after the success documented above, the PCI-e card has once again vanished from the Device Manager. (Yesterday's workaround still in place.) Well, it's forced me to give up getting this card to work in my Dell workstation to control the microscope camera. I've moved the USB 3.1 card to a Dell OptiPlex system (that only had USB 2.0 ports), where it seems to work fine for general use. Currently, I'm still looking for a solution to connect the microscope camera to the Dell workstation. I'm now investigating USB 3.x PCIe cards that do NOT rely on the ASMedia chipset. ... show more
