Pros: High speed when used with USB 3.0 devices. Higher speed than average when used with USB 2.0 devices. 2 USB 3.0 ports. Automatic detection by my OS (Linux) so no need to install drivers. Good build quality. Proper packaging (nice card board packaging in stead of blister).
Cons: None really. The card does what it supposed to do.
Other: Good buy and a great addition to my PC.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Easy to install. Just plug in the card and install the driver from mini-CD.
It uses the same power supply as used by a floppy drive
Cons: On one of my PCs it conflicted with some of the installed drivers. Still can't figure out with which ones. Required going to Device manager and doing "turn it off and on again"
Other: Worth buying if you're gonna upgrade your old PC. I consider buying 1-2 such cards for mices, printers and USB hubs and one internal USB 3.0 Hub/Card reader (SKU 65971) for USB-sticks.

Pros: Easy to install. Just plug in the card and install the driver from mini-CD. It uses the same power supply as used by a floppy drive.
Cons: You might experience some problems with the driver that comes in mini-CD (In "828U3" folder). In that case try going to the http://www.station-drivers.com/page/renesas.htm and download the latest driver - that fixed the problem for me.

Pros: I needed more usb speed for copying files to my mediaplayer with HD en external HD's. Local store asked about 50 euro for an usb 3.0 pci-e card. So i came to deal extreme and found this1. The product arrived after 2 weeks in an envelope which held an box with the card and mini-cd. After installing it in my desktop i installed the software from the mini-cd. I'm using W7 and had absolute no problems. Testing the file transfer and the speed is about 98MB per sec. Much faster then my 2.0
Cons: Not found
Other: Good product for a nice price!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This controller works perfectly with Windows 8 preview. Drivers installed faultlessly, without the need for the (supplied) CD. Quicker transfer times with a USB3 device than over USB2 port. Small form factor card.
Cons: Gold plated contacts were a bit patchy, but not enough to be a problem. Box got crushed in the post, but device was fine. Driver CD is 'mini' so no good with a slot loading CD drive.
Other: Perfect if you're looking to start out with one or two USB3 devices. I would buy more if I needed them.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Flawless installation, real PNP. See other thoughts below. The product arrived after 2 weeks in an envelope marked as gift with the card in a box and mini-cd. I'm using W7 x86 and had absolute no problems so far.
Cons: None so far.
Other: Great product for upgrading older PC in motherboard which supports PCI-E bus.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's way faster than my onboard USB 2.0, i was able to get up to 100mb/s write speeds on my external drive, while i was only able to get up to 28mb/s before, and on top of that the device is realy tiny, not taking any space inside the pc and avoiding cluter with other cards (my sound card for an example, would bump into the video card if i used the same slot i use for this one)
Cons: It's a bit trick to get it to work the first time, it is necessary to use the drivers that come in the mini cd, and the folders in it do not seem to be labeled correctly, the one for this device is "828U3"
Other: If you need a usb 3.0 controller for a cheap price, buy this one, it's useful and worth the investiment
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Card worked directly after installing in PC on Windows 7 Ultimate. - Much faster than my USB onboard USB ports. Data to and from my external hard disk (USB3) now transfers much faster than before. - No problem phycally installing in PC. Does fit nice in slot. - Good built quality. - Tip: Order additional USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Male to Female Extension Cable (180CM-Length)
Cons: None
Other: Great USB card for half the European price.
