Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: easy to install came with low profile bracket

Cons: none at all

Other Thoughts: my external portable usb 3.0 drive went from reading/writing at 30mbs to reading/writing 133mbs

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Bought two because I had a Windows machine and a Linux machine that only had USB-2. This was very inexpensive but worked perfectly. Had drivers for XP and Win7, none needed for Linux.

Cons: None, but don't forget to hook up the power cable.

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This worked fine unlike two others I wasted my money on.Etron J168a Universal Controller Drivers

Pros: Uses PCIe x1 port and worked fine on my old P5e fully loaded mombo: Pair of HD5850 and SB X-Fi sound. For windows 7 download the 118 driver package. Dont bother with the one on the disk. Shows up as 'Etron USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller' and also 'Etron USB3.0 Extensible Root Hub'

Cons: Does not have the latest driver but came with instructions on how to find them.

Other Thoughts: First tried an Orico and then a Renesas (Nec chip) USB3 and the provided drivers could not even recognized their boards and neither vendor provided info on newer drivers. Orico uses Fresco drivers and if you go to the Fresco site the links to their drivers are missing. After trying both of those X1 boards I remembered that I had used Etron's X4 board that had eSata as well as USB3 and I sure enough I found this X1 board on Newegg and it worked fine just like their X4 with eSata.

Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Rca Universal Controller

Pros: Win 10 installed it's own version of a USB 3.0 driver, which works fine.

Cons: In the Overview it says 'Internal HDD Power Connector for Supply Extra +5V Power to USB Ports'. Sounds like you would only need the extra power to run a 2.5' drive, or something like a charger. The power connecter is not just for 'Extra' power, you have to have it for the unit to work. Could have been a little clearer about that.

Universal Remote Control

Other Thoughts: On a Win 7 machine upgraded to Win 10 it works. I didn't have an extra sata power plug, but I did find I had a spare molex to sata adapter, so it worked out ok. Gave 5 eggs because it was easy to install, and works.

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Not all USB 3.0 chipsets are created equal.- It does negotiate USB 2.0 speeds on hotplugged devices
- 480M is sufficient for my USB attached drives
- The item description is clear on the card's chipset

Cons: - Does not negotiate USB 3.0 devices on reboot under FreeBSD
- Hot plugged USB 3.0 devices are slow to negotiate and negotiate to USB 2.0 HIGH (480M) speed

Other Thoughts: Next time I'll know to google the OS and the chipset prior to purchasing.

Dear Customer,
We thank you for your interest in one of our products. Unfortunately you are correct, and it seems their isn't full support from the Etron Chipset for the FreeBSD distro. This device should work to its full potential with other Operating Systems such as Windows, MAC, and certain distros of Linux.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.
For more information and support, please contact the support team using the email support@sybausa.com
Thank you for purchasing one of our products, and for leaving us your valuable feedback.

Pros: Easy enough to install card and drivers from CD.

Etron J168a Universal Controller Driver 2017

Cons: Contrary to what SYBA support advised me prior to purchase the PCIe slot is not enough power to power the card. It needs to be directly connect to the PSU and the power supply in my Dell seemed only to be planned for connecting up to two hard drives and or two CD/DVD drives.

Other Thoughts: I experimented, when the USB connectors did not work (external drive not seen), by moving the power from a DVD drive to the card and it worked. Unfortunately I had to move that connector back to the DVD drive, so the card again failed to work.

Dear Customer,
We apologize for the inconvenience you have gone through.
Our cards will require either a SATA power port or molex to make them properly work, and we're sorry if you were ill advised on this.
That being said, you should also have enough SATA power ports in order to use this device. We would advice you use a 4pin molex to SATA power cable to use more devices on your computer.
If you need further assistance, please contact our support team to help you by emailing support@sybausa.com.
Our technical support team is available to help 9am-5pm M-F. Feel free to contact us during those business hours.
