Not for High Power Devices

I bought this to handle four USB Microscope Cameras which prefer to have their own channels, and cannot be placed more than two to a channel. This device does NOT deliver enough power through the USB port to run even one camera, even with the SATA power connected. I can also echo the frustration of other users with the horizontal USB Ports being wider that the card bay slots so that a standard USB-A cannot be fully inserted.
UNRAID Passthrough

This card is perfect for Unraid and VM's. The 4 separate controllers show up in Unraid in their own IOMMU groups allowing me to pass 1 port to each of my 4 VM's. You need to use the later version though, apparently the earlier cards don't do this. I'm using a Fracal Design 7 case and haven't had the same issues others have had with the ports being obstructed. I actually prefer the vertical ports as they appear to be tidier and easier for cable management when using all 4 ports. Suggestion: An 8 port model would be nice. 2 ports per controller. And support for qualcomm fast charging.
Finally, a card that my Oculus Rift S likes!

So for a while now I have struggled with my Oculus Rift S. Not with actually playing games with it. No, but with ROBOT VOICE when using the built in Mic. It would appear that it's not enough that you have to use a USB3 connection that Oculus approves of, but if you want the best functionality, you need a port up to the task. I have tried 4 different expansion cards but this is the first one ever that actually does the job! If you're a Windows 10 user, just pop the card in and let Microsoft do the rest - the official drivers aren't up to the task.
If it would only work reliably on Linux

I bought this card especially because of its four USB controller chips in the hope that this could avoid the trouble I have with my StarTech PEXUSB3S4V on Linux. Unfortunately this card behaves even worse. There's a kernel bug report about this specific card (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199627) which explains the issue quite thoroughly. It's not StarTech's fault that the used uPD720202 USB controller chip gets such a bad handling in Linux but the end-user experience is really frustrating. I really hope someone at StarTech might have the right influence to improve Linux' xhci_hcd driver for this card because I really want to use it on my Linux box.

To big for teh backplate!

Great card in terfms of specs, however, I've found that having the USB ports verticle rather than horizontal makes it impossible to actually plus a USB device in. The back plate of my PC is too narrow. Now I'm guessing the gap is industry standard so I have no idea how Startech managed to get this product out there. In order to make this work I'm going to need to physically file the back port to make the gap wider.
Great card but StarTech needs to update drivers

I have purchased 2 of these now. They work awesome BUT after a system upgrade to Ryzen 7 CPU and a ASRock mobo that has PCIE 3.0 and 2.0 ports the card will only function on the 3.0 slot. my last PC 2.0 slot was not an issue. The drivers have not been updated since 2012 and Windows default driver is no good... it sees the card but says it cant start... HELP!

Hello! Thank you for reviewing our PEXUSB3S44V card. We are sorry to hear you are having installation issues with the card. We do not expect this type of limitation, as long as the slot is a PCIe x4 or higher it should function properly, although it may lower speeds on PCIe 2.0 and lower. Based on your description, it sounds like it was working before and may be specific to this motherboard you have now. We would like to hear more about your setup to troubleshoot the issue. You can always contact our support team 24 hours a day 5 days a week at www.startech.com/chat or 1 800 265 1844 for any product related issues. A member of our Technical Advisory team will be reaching out to you shortly by email to assist! Thank you,
Great card, wrong port orientation

I bought this to allow additional peripherals. While the card is the best I found in terms of quality and speed, the USB port placement is terrible and it is impossible to plug anything into them unless I cut my case. An horizontal place would have been way more appropriate.

The dedicated channels are a must for any VR device owner, or those looking to insure USB storage is performing at it's absolute best. Plug and play in Windows 10. It has been flawless.
