Orico Desktop PC 7 Port USB 3.0 PCI-E Expansion Card

Not much I can say, does the job I bought it for. Just be aware you'll need to disable wake on PCI-E/USB settings in BIOS and have the power connector plugged in.

[Windows 11] The initial setup can be quite difficult software wise. Installation is simple, screws are provided and power through the provided SATA > MOLEX connection is necessary.
The drivers on the Orico website are unable to be downloaded due to some unreadable Chinese text so there are a few other websites that have the _V4.90A driver.

Disabling wake on LAN fixed my initial issues, which took a long time to figure out. There is no documentation or support this these regards.
Make sure to install the driver before making any USB connections as you'll need to then restart your computer otherwise the card won't recognize anything.

Frustrating! But in the end it works somewhat.

Bought for diagnosing a computer issue, Solved the problem, Left it in to do some more useful work. What It wont do (at least with my config) Is boot a usb drive from power off or for Bios control with keyboard and mouse. Some usb sticks refused to work, though they wold work through a usb2 hub. What this thing is useful for is lots of USB hard drives for and as part of a back up solution. With my oldish computer I could not get the maximum speed as limited by my buss though it was a measure faster than the onboard USB 3 on mother board. worked fine under Linux so what am I to worry about :) Bought for diagnosing a computer issue, Solved the problem, Left it in to do some more useful work.

Easy to install into your pc, but once you turn it on you may have to configure your bios to enable it. This is a step that I had to take in order for it to work so I could then install the drivers. It is not hard to find the drivers at all you can easily find them on the Orico website, this will be a great addon for all the flight sim peripherals I use for DCS.

This card is neat, easy to install and works out the box. No need for software, just plug and play.

Good for when you need lots of USB ports like for flight sim HOTAS that don't like plugging in via external hubs. This card is neat, easy to install and works out the box. No need for software, just plug and play.

Excellent quality and easy to install, thanks. Excellent quality and easy to install, thanks.

The biggest downside is when the P.C. goes to sleep mode, this card does not come back to life and you need to reboot the PC to get it to work again The biggest downside is when the P.C. goes to sleep mode, this card does not come back to life and you need to reboot the PC to get it to work again

Plugged in and that's all, no driver installation required on my pc. Works like a charm. Plugged in and that's all, no driver installation required on my pc. Works like a charm.

Pros: You have 7 Ports.

Cons: Might be hit n miss on how you can maximize the potential of this product. Pros: You have 7 Ports.

No drivers required, works flawlessly with win11.
Haven't done extensive tests with speed but looks good so far. No drivers required, works flawlessly with win11.
