PCI-E 1X to USB 3.2 GEN1 5Gbps 20pin Front Panel Header (to Type-c Front Panel Header) + USB 3.0 19Pin Socket Expansion Card,Type-E Internal 20-pin Front Panel Connector Riser Card

Seems to work great for it's intended purpose (as my ASUS Board did not come with an Internal Type E-Header for the Case Front USB-C cable) but note that this is aPCIE 3.0 x1 interface is limited to 8 Gigabits per second, note that USB 3.1 Gen 2 supports up to 10 Gigabits per seconds transfer rate so in practicality - external NVME enclosures will be limited to around 900 Megabytes per second transfer rate, instead of the around 1100 Megabytes per second (after overhead).A slight bottleneck but still quite useful.

Works great. No issues yet

I got this card because the AMD ASMedia USB controller on my motherboard had lots of issues when connecting an iPad or iPhone. When looking online for information on a better USB controller, I was told to go for Renesas chipset (like this card has) or Fresco Logic, and to avoid VIA and ASMedia. I guess if there are negatives, it's that this card only supports 5 Gbps (PCIe Rev. 2.x, I believe - PCIe Gen3/4/5 would offer way more bandwidth on a 1X connector). However, it's been 100% reliable (so far), and I like that *way* more than using my motherboard's 10-20 Gbps ports that almost never work. This USB card does what it's supposed to do. No issues. If you're having trouble with your case's front USB ports working with various devices like iPhone, give this card a try.

In my opinion you probably shouldn't have to do this if there are no instructions or disclaimers included, however:if you are plugging into (literally Amazon's suggested ASUS B550 board) it will bug out on PCIE and try to run in gen 1 and will never work (BIOS Linux Windows home or embedded, whatever) maybe supply power depending on the model of card.Go into your onboard device controls on your motherboard and specify the slot the card is plugged into to run at either gen 2 or gen 3. It will work just fine at next post. You can find the slot read out typically on the board, in the B550 F WiFi Gaming ROG Strix 2 (I now know why this was 40 dollars off MSRP) the bottom 1x slot is called PCIEX1_3 and is found under UEFI > advanced> onboard devices.

Power and connection is established immediately when PC is turned on, so anything connected will not have issues booting up or being recognized.USB device connected are immediately recognized and never have any performance or connection issues when PC is running.10/10

Like other buyers, I had a PC case with a front USB-C port and a motherboard without a front USB-C connector. Since it bugs me to leave any functionality on the table, I bought this adapter.It installed cleanly into a B550-M Micro-ATX motherboard alongside a 3080 in the other PCIe slot. It worked right away — zero driver install, just plug and play.Haven't tested speeds because my goal was convenience more than anything else. Now my phone can be plugged into the front USB-C for charging and easy access. USB-C thumb drives work too.For the $20 I paid, it's cheaper than buying a whole new motherboard (and in turn a whole new system because of the later socket architecture changes). Thinking about buying another one for another PC with the exact same mobo/case mismatch.

Riceware trash.Will repeatedly prompt "windows OOBE create elevated object server" UAC prompts on windows 10 devices. I am suspicious the device is injecting malware - and it would be able to do it given that it is connected to your USB lanes.Doesn't even work. Corrupts data downloaded through attached USB lanes. Slows your computer down to a crawl for no reason.Fresh windows install with the card removed resulted in much better performance. No longer got OOBE prompts.As if it wasn't bad enough that it doesn't work, there's a high chance it is trying to steal your data. It has access to your USB lanes, so it would certainly be able to install malware on its own, which is likely what it is doing

Got a faulty card.Can't return because I don't have the packaging anymore.[EDIT]https : / / plugable[dot]com/pages/renesas-driversremove the extra spaces and replace [dot] with an actual dotfor some reason the drivers that windows 11 automatically installed did not work with my buildafter browsing the Microsoft forums for a while, I finally found a fix and now it works perfectly
