Fits and works well
It works surprisingly well out of the box, with no setup required (on my system). Haven't been able to test charging, but it has good USB 3.0-ish speed. If you have unused PCIe x1 slots and have a lack of USB ports, this could be the thing for you.As a note, for those confused by the "7-port" claim, the additional 2 most likely refer to the internal USB 3.0 header, which normally connects to 2 ports on a case or another hub.And as a heads up, if your PSU is at the bottom of the case and you use an ATX or similar form factor, this will sit right above the PSU's fan, which may interfere with airflow. This isn't a dig at this product in particular, as any PCIe card in the bottom-most slot would have this issue.

works for linux
I have a motherboard which the usb 3.0 port does not work so well with Linux. I purchased this card and put it into PC and turned off on motherboard use 3.0. works like a charm. Nothing to config - just works. Kernels 5.15 and 5.19. I have one of those case panels that allow you to get usb 3.0 on front of case. that panel just has cable to go to usb 3.0 header. I hooked that cable into this card - works well. Have tested that front panel ( which means the usb 3.0 header ) and the back connectors. all works well. Ading this detail for Linux folsks sometimes Linux folks do not know what to buy. Very happy.

Work with Linux 5.10.0 and Home Assistant OS 10.5
I got this to add USB devices to my Home Assistant virtual machine running under KVM on a Debian host running Linux kernel 5.10.0. Absolutely no issues. The host OS recognized the device after a reboot. HAOS also recognized the card and attached devices as soon as it was passed through from the host.Before this, I was passing the USB devices through to the VM, but the Bluetooth adapter frequently disconnected. This is no longer a problem after passing the whole PCIE USB card through to the VM.

Nice addition to computer
Easily installed and Windows 10 picked it up immediately. The two ports that can be used in the front of the computer was not compatible with my hardware so I was unable to connect the front ports. Therefore only using 5 of the 7 available ports.

Bad Buy! FebSmart USB 3.0 USB Expansion Card Using PCIe x 1 Expansion Slot 100921
October 9, 2021. This review is for the FebSmart brand, USB 3.0 Expansion Card and 20 Pin Header. Not a good product. The plug in of the product was relatively easy; however, after installed, the desktop PC would NOT POWER ON. Computer would NOT turn on, and no boot process. Once card was taken out of the motherboard, desktop computer would power on. It appears that the card itself should have a SATA power line connector to power supply the card addition. Sent two e-mails to FebSmart Customer Support e-mail address and received no reply. I lost money on this purchase and still need to upgrade my system with a multi port USB 3.0 Expansion Card. Still need the card, then I can finish the install. This was a setback that I wish had been successful, but was not. This review is being typed from the same computer that was repaired. 1 4 4

Does exactly what it was meant to do, for a reasonable price
I haven't had any issues with this USB card. I installed it into an unRAID server I built, and then pass it through to a virtual machine that I run on my server. This way, I get dedicated USB connectivity on my virtual machine, making it easy to connect Bluetooth peripherals (I also bought a Bluetooth USB receiver) or even just connect USB peripherals directly to the VM. It really comes in handy sometimes!

Worked great! I am using Ubuntu Linux and there are no issues.
It was easy to install. My motherboard is a GA-970A-D3P and there are issues with Linux recognizing the USB ports. In my case the USB 3.0 ports worked but all 7 of the USB 2.0 ports were dead plus the USB 2.0 headers. This board worked great! I later found that if I added two additional parameters to the Grub boot line, my existing ports would work.

Works with Ubuntu Linux Server 22.04 LTS
I bought one of these to use in my refurbished home server (Dell R720, Ubuntu Linux Server 22.04 LTS built as a KVM host with 9 VMs) which is old and did not have USB 3.0 ports built into it. I installed this card in the PCIe slot in the server, but could only get USB 2.0 devices (jump drive) to work with Linux at first. Then I upgraded the kernel to 6.0.6-1, rebooted and was able to see my USB 3.0 drives in the host OS. A bit more configuration later, and the USB 3.0 drive is now mounted within a VM.I would buy this card again.
