StarTech.com 2-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe Card, USB-C 10Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x4 Adapter, Data Only, Windows/macOS/Linux, TAA

I needed 10GB USB-C in an old socket AM3 system with PCIe Gen 2.Card works out of the box, Windows 10 Pro has the driver, no setup needed.Connected a port replicator over an optical USB-C cable. 4K @ 60Hz works perfect, no issues, as do peripherals (mouse, keyboard, microphone, camera, etc).

If you want to run a solid Oculus link with VR and be able to power it while you use it. You gotta get this card.I was trying to get away with not buying one and just charge my headset and plug it into a USB power jack and see how long it'll last. It ended up running out of battery in the middle of gaming and panicking to figure out how to rejoin the group was a challenge as I would have to plug my headset into the wall and needed to run Air link which is highly unreliable in my location with lots of interference.I bought this card after much research and solid reviews and it did exactly what i needed! Plugged my headset cable directly into it and it reads it perfectly, quickly, and keeps it powered with no more down time!Love my VR set up now.

This product has been a savior. I use this for connecting an Oculus VR headset to a PC that didn't have reliable USB-C ports. This card immediately fixed my connection issues and has been working great for about a year now. If you need high bandwidth USB connectivity, can't go wrong here.

Item is easy to install and works as advertised. The only issue is it requires an X4 PCIe slot and the machine I installed it in has only one X16 and two X1 slots. I'm using it for high-speed external SSD drives for additional volatile storage.

I needed this because the USB-C output on my motherboard did not supply enough power to charge my Oculus Quest 2 while playing and I would find myself running out of battery life at the worst times. I play DCS world so I will be on for long stretches of time. This card solved that problem, regardless of what percent battery my Quest 2 is when I start playing, whenever I stop playing, it is always at 100%. Problem solved...uh....mostly......because one downside was in game I was having major stuttering or jitters to the point it was almost unplayable and that didn't happen with the onboard USB-C so I knew it was this card.I was about to return this card but then I read that X570 Ryzen motherboards have issues with USB but a bios fix was coming. I have a X570 TUF Pro and I downloaded the latest bios that addresses some of the USB issues (bios dated Mar 22, 2021). Installed that and now I get jitters only once in a while, not enough to be distracting. The bios update seemed to have fixed it mostly and now my quest stays charged during gameplay that I don't have to worry about it so I am keeping this card and it has worked for my needs. There is supposed to be another x570 bios update coming for my motherboard so hopefully the new release will completely solve my jittering, but if not I am ok. BTW make sure the card is plugged to your power source using the SATA cable if you want to keep your Quest 2 charged.

I think the speed is really good but I never really measured it with any official software. The transfer rate seems very quick between disk drives. I could not tell you the exact transfer rates I get because I have no idea if the rates I see are from the old hdd, the new ssd or the combination of everything. My point is this does the job and had no trouble setting it up. Quality was top notch. The value was expectedly within my range. I haven’t had to reach out to their support so that’s a good sign after a month of 24/7 usage. I downloaded the drivers but never had to use them because Windows 11 automatically detected this card. I do wish it had more ports, but the be fair so far I only used one of the two ports from the card. I’m just saying that it would be nice to future proof a bit.

I do a lot of work with videos, which involves transferring video files to and from USB flash drives (required for my projects). My transfer speed is pathetically slow on most all brands of USB flash drives that I own (Sandisk, Lexar, PNY, Verbatim, etc). I'm talking transfers that slow to 355kb/second to 0 (zero). I was hoping that this device would solve that problem. I purchased USB cables that were capable of 10GB/sec transfer speeds to go with it and installed it in my desktop computer. Unfortunately, it made no difference in file transfer speeds. The Startech technicians were very helpful and assisted in running tests. The device was performing as it should. USB flash drives just don't offer fast file transfer speeds and they slow as they age.

My "brand" PC came standard with only 1 USB-C port. So, adding 2 more with the expertise and performance of StarTech.com's 10Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x4 Adapter is a very welcome USB-C expansion solution!
