BEYIMEI PCI-E to USB 3.0 2-Port Expansion Card, with 15-pin SATA Power Connector and 19-pin USB3.0 Interface, Suitable for Desktop Windows XP/Vista / 7/8/10 / Linux/Ubuntu（2X Type a）

Had to add a few ports to my computer. Funny about the card; BIOS will see it to boot from it and install an OS. Ubuntu will boot from it and see it in the OS. But Windows will not see it in the OS until you install the driver. After that everything works great.

useful

It was around 1,200 yen. Very cheap. Incredible. Yet, it give a lot of USB ports.

I put it into my thirteen-year-old Core 2 PC, which didn’t have USB 3 ports. This extension card has provided several USB 3 ports.

I am very happy. My old machine now runs like a new one.

I have an old system that doesn’t have any USB 3.0 ports. I added a pair of USB 3.0 ports to the front of the case and with this card was able to add power and a front panel USB 3.0 header to have a total of 4 USB 3.0 ports. The product works great. It was easy to install.

No paperwork no instructions I don’t know what’s input what’s output concerning the inside or the outside for that matter

Works plug & play for Windows 8 or newer, but Windows 7 or older needs a driver, and the card comes with none. The mfg has no website and provides no support, but no worries, search for “Renesas Electronics uPD720201” (the controller chip on the card). I found an NEC driver on Dell’s website that worked fine in Win7 x64. Later upgraded to Win10 x64 and no driver was required. No issues with the card itself, it works as advertised.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 580s system stripped and shoved into a full tower as a media center and basic home usages. USB2 is not getting the full work use out of the newer media, so, this expansion card helps quite a bit to put a bit of life back to a dinosaur of a system.

However, be aware not to expect too much from this card:

1. It does not support boot function. If you’re expecting the USB3 ports to boot off USB Drives, not going to happen.

2. It does not use the full 5 gbps, nor even at 2.5 gpbs. I use Samsung T7 Shield 1TB SSD (USB C) connection. Max read at 192 MBps, and max write at 100 MBps. It’s a lot better than the existing onboard USB2 max read at 58MBps and max write at 23MBps.

I’ve got the Aorus B550I Pro and have been looking for a solution to the lack of USB-C header for my case. I installed this in a Corsair 2000D RGB case. Worked perfect on boot and allows pass through so I don’t lose any of my ports on my motherboard.

I haven’t done any formal speed tests by any means, but my external M2 Enclosure didn’t have any issues transferring quickly over the USB-C.

Highly Recommended.

det fungerar bra

Works great, detected with out issue and has fast speeds.

Facile a installer. Fonctionne normalement. Rajoute des ports USB pour plus de branchements.

J’ai installé cette carte pour pouvoir ajouter un 3e écran à mon ordi. J’y ai branché un adapteur usb3-vga et Windows a tout détecté instantanément sans devoir installer les drivers fournis. Pas eu besoin d’utiliser le fil d’alimentation sata fourni.

The product worked well, giving me near USB 3.0 speeds. But if you connect a cable to the internal USB header, be aware that that’s a permanent connection. There is no disconnecting it without destroying both the header and the cable plugged into the header. Now I’m forced to buy another one to replaced the ruined one. Plan carefully!

I use these ports mostly for peripherals and I only install thumb drives or external drives to the motherboard itself. Very useful and no issues installing it.

Very nice product!

**Plugged and played; windows immediately recognized the device, no issues.**

Build quality is great considering country of origin, ports are centered perfectly in the IO shield, PCB looks amazing.

Used both the rear ports for a keyboard, delivered power and worked for 6+ hours nonstop in testing. 19 pin connector worked great and delivered data and power as well to front USB ports within expected real world transfer speeds!!

Has worked fine since April!

Very simple to install. My motherboard did not come with the right connection that my case needed. This card corrected the issue and so far, it is working great. It was exactly what I needed.

It also arrived sooner that expected.

My reverb g2 wouldn’t work with the onboard USB3 type-a port with the adapter. I plugged this PCIe card into a PCIe v2 slot on the motherboard and WMR was finally able to recognize the headset.

Instalação muito simples: bastou colocar a placa no slot e não não necessitou de instalação de software para trabalhar em Linux.
O único problema detectado foi que as portas USB não são detectadas para boot, mas poderá ser alguma configuração que não fiz na UEFI ou limitação da motherboard.

Muy buen producto!
Y me llego antes de lo programado

Tried the FebSmart brand card first with no luck and no support! However, This BEYIMEI brand card works perfectly out of the box and will run any of my WD Passport 2.5″ portable hard drives. Totally happy so far. I will update if I find any downside with this product. Time will tell.

Worked good for my motherboard. I have a B550 motherboard that only has 1 USB3 header, I needed 2, one for case front panel and one for an add on multi reader. The C port is a bonus, my MB doesn’t have one of those either. Knew that when I bought the board, but I don’t really have a need for it so I wasn’t concerned, but I’m sure I will need one at some point. Speeds seems OK. I worried because the were a lot of reviews saying burned up…but if you look closer they aren’t for the card I got, Amazon lumping a bunch of reviews together again….No bad reviews for the one I got. It’s hard to find one that adds an internal header AND a C port. Most of them you do find are very pricey. Good price for this card if it hold up over time. It does kind of amaze me how many of these different cards are EXACTLY the same, only branded differently. Most of them are probably made at the same place and whoever wants to sell them puts their brand name and pricing on them. Explains why so many of the “manufacturers” websites don’t have drivers to download.

Ajouté 4 USB3 à mon PC sous W10 qui n’en possédait pas. Reconnu par W10 (ne pas utiliser le CD). Attention, au redémarrage après installation, mes USB2 étaient inactivées donc plus de clavier ni souris. Branché clavier et souris sur USB3 pour terminer le redémarrage, puis fait un redémarrage et tout est actif, avec un vrai débit en USB3.

I use this to feed my video cameras to an external USB drive. Works great!

I got this specifically because it says it works with Linux systems and it does. I also like that it has a port to connect the USB 3.0 front panel I have on my case that I was never able to use before. I am very pleased with this purchase since it worked flawlessly and met my needs.

It does as advertised, and slots in very easily. I picked this up for both Quest Link (though that’s obsolete now) and running some external C-to-C drives I have. The only issue I have with it is that the cutouts on the provided bracket don’t line up perfectly, so one port is an exceptionally tight fit that can’t accomodate a lot of bulkier cables. I don’t know if this is a universal problem, or just one isoalted to my specific board.

This product is very good quality with respect to build and is recognized immediately by Windows 10 and Linux.

Works fine

I purchased this to replace another brand card I had. Got this one because it had the ability to add additional power for USB3 devices via a SATA power connector. My older card did not have this capability and caused write problems with an external USB3 SSD drive I had connected to it. This card works flawlessly with both a 5TB WD drive, and a 500GB SSD connected to it.

Install in my old AM2+ Motherboard which has only PCI-E 2.0. Test on the SATA III SSD and reach about 400 MB/S. Very good.

perfekt

Perfect fit

Good performance from the card as well. Drivers for the card are stable – no crashes. Solid performer – I’ll buy another if/when I need one.

Ho assemblato un PC partendo da alcuni componenti di qualche anno, mancava l’USB 3.0. Risolto con questo. Velocità USB 3.0 testata … funziona perfettamente, inoltre connettore interno mi ha permesso di collegarlo ad un pannello frontale 2,5″ per l’aggiunta di altre 2 porte USB 3.0.

No configuration just plug in it works.

Much faster than USB2.0 and flawless performance. No issues at all. I highly recommend this card.

Windows 10 recognized this card automatically. The included drivers were needed for Windows 7 and worked flawlessly. No effort at all; installed card, installed driver (Win7 only) and the USB ports worked. I transferred data to and from a Toshiba external USB drive that was several years old and got 90 – 100Mbps. It’s not 10Gbps but the system is old (no USB 3.0 ports at all) and, as I mentioned I was using a dated USB drive so I can’t verify if it truly supports X Gbps.

Excelente producto, con drivers en disco
Lo instale en Windows XP, sin problema
Use las extensiones de cable de alimentación sin problema.
Muy buen producto. Espero pronto usar Linux Mint 20, trae drivers para Linux también.

Ok I installed this in my case without any problems. However I bought a cable to connect my front USB 3.0 connectors to it and all it did was get the cable hot. Sure it could be the cable itself that is the cause but I not sure which is why did not give it 4 stars.

Exactly what I was looking for
