## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works in Linux!
*by G***B on September 21, 2020*

PROs:*Very reasonable price*Installation is simple & quick (I can't provide a Tech Support rating because I didn't need any!)*Implements the fastest USB standard to date (upgraded my PC from USB3.1 Gen 1 to Gen 2)*Works "out of the box" in Linux (MX 19.2) - no driver installation required*Lots of power for USB-powered devices (2A. per port) - in my case:Port 1: Samsung T5 1TB USB SSDPort 2: Dragonfly Red USB DAC*Weekly data backup to my Samsung T5 is incredibly fast (if I blink I miss it!)*I like that this card's USB ports are powered OFF when my PC is OFF (unlike the other USB ports on my PC)*Inexplicably, my PC boots faster - maybe BIOS no longer checking for boot code in USB devices moved to PCIe?CONs:None that I can think of! Incidentally, I have no idea what "Sheerness" is, but I gave it 5 stars for good measure!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works in Mac Pro 2010
*by S***H on August 2, 2020*

This is my initial "day one" review; I might update it after some months of usage. I got this card, despite cheaper but feature-identical alternatives, because this was is known-compatible with macOS. In my case, it worked right out of the box without any driver installations or other issues.Installation wasn't trivial, but that's due to Apple, not any problem with this card. The Mac Pro Mid 2010 (5,1) has no readily accessible SATA headers and cables coming off the motherboard, but this card needs SATA power. So, I had to get into the optical drive part of the case, undo the combined SATA data/power connector from one of them; run a SATA data extension from the data half of that back to the ODD; use a SATA power Y splitter, and connect half of that back to the ODD, then run the other half into the main section of the case, and use a SATA power extension to reach my new USB 3 card. It's a bit Rube Goldberg. Put the machine back together, connected a USB-C hub/dock that I ordered to the card's C port, and connected my 5-disk external USB 3 enclosure to the USB-A port on the card. Fired up the machine, got right to desktop without any kind of delay, and every device is showing up exactly as it should (so, 6 drives total that were formerly on USB 2.0 are now through USB 3 A/C). My aging but rather over-powered 12-core, 64 MB RAM Mac just got a new lease on life, especially now that I'm booting off an SSD, and have my main game and other "monster" apps that load a lot of data on another SSD. It was painful to be using USB 2 for external storage (like several minutes to copy over a single movie). WAY faster now.I do not expect I'll get the theoretical maximum of 10 Gb/s, but am expecting over 5. Will try to set up some controlled benchmarking of random and sequential reads and writes in different circumstances (from/to my boot SSD, from/to an internal 7200 RPM HDD, from/to another external HDD drive attached to the same card, etc.). Might test some app stuff, like speed to reload a suspended VM. And I should get another SSD and see how it does when mediated by this card.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by T***E on November 19, 2019*

I installed this in an early 2009 MacPro that's been updated to 5,1 firmware and running Catalina. I took off a star because I could not boot off a usb stick boot drive plugged into it. Otherwise, it was plug & play and operates as advertised. Vast improvement over the built in USB-2 ports for large file transfers to a portable drive, or a high speed ADF scanner.
