Expansion Card that works without any issues.
I needed a USB 3.1 C Card for an external drive. Startech is the business standard for utility cards. Anyone in IT knows the brand but for those who don't. It's a trusted brand thats been around for a long time. The card is small and has the ability to be used for small form factor. Comes with the adapter. Drivers installed without any issues. Data transfer speeds work perfectly. I would recommend this card over a lot of "other weird brands"
Easy Install. Works perfectly...!
I just installed this and it was easy. I used the provided low-profile bracket after removing the Full-Height Bracket. Then I connected the 15 pin SATA Power Connector to it so I would have extra power to charge connected devices. But that is not necessary if you want to use the port for data only. Now I have 2 additional USB 3.1 Type C Ports and I can connect any USP C port device to it.
Quality hardware
Bought this for my sons Oculus and it works AWESOME. Will recommend to friends and family.
