StarTech PCIUSB3S4 4 Port Pci Usb 3.0 Card W/ Sata Power

I bought to add USB 3.0 to my old Gateway LX6810-01 which I bought new in 2009 and still use as a primary machine. It is stock except for an upgraded Corsair 750W power supply and Sandisk 1 TB SSD. That leaves it with an available PCI slot, which this card fit. However, the case interfered ever so slightly with the USB ports but with some persistence, I was able to plug a USB cable into each port. Also, I received Error Code 31 in Device Manager which meant the drivers were loaded but due to the enabled Windows 10 Fast Startup, it took me some time and internet searching to find out I just needed to perform a restart to make it work. That did the trick. It otherwise works beautifully and I was able to take full advantage of the new 802.11ax standard with a just-released USB Wi-Fi 6 adapter and my ISP's Wi-Fi 6 gateway.

This hardware works perfectly but I should have known that having those ports vertically instead of horizontally, would be a pain. Due to the space on the slot, you may not be able or to force the male USB into it which you need to be careful. Besides that, it works perfectly with the SATA Power at 3.0 speed
