[ PCIe 1.0 x4] I wanted more USB-C ports for my Mac Pro computer. This is just the card I needed. It was a great price and easy to install. Worked right away. 5

[ PCIe 1.0 x4] No problems with this 'plug 'n play' device in a Classic Mac Pro 5'1. The extra controller makes for quicker transfers. To utilise this device for quickly copying external SSD's remember the correct cable orientation - SSD to SSD : in ports 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4). 5

[ PCIe 1.0 x4] Using it since 2019 till today, 2022 and continue to use. Nice card, does its job reliably and well. 5

[ PCIe 1.0 x4] Just plug and play into an available PCIE slot and you're cooking with gas. IMPORTANT NOTE: you can see from the product image that the card will need an x4 or larger sized bus slot - (i.e. it will fit into an x4, x8, or x16 width slot, but not into the smaller x1 slot). Google pci express slot sizes and then compare against what's available on your motherboard. 5

[ PCIe 1.0 x4] This card is the best combo-card option for a Mac Pro 5,1 (2010-2012) for adding 2 NVMe SSDs and 2 USB 3.2 ports. Note that using the 10 GB Ethernet port will cause a kernel panic, no big deal as the Mac Pro already has 2 1GB ports. 5

[ PCIe 1.0 x4] We have used Sonnettech products for many years. Quality products, great service and great shipping and price from B & H. 5

[0.23 lb] Installed into Apple 2009 Mac Pro 2.93GHz (4-cores) Xeon 32 Gb RAM. Data transfer speed is up to 490 (Write) and 520 (Read) for Samsung 1TB T5 SSD. 5

Scott	12/07/2024
[0.23 lb] Installed this in an OptiPlex 7710 SFF computer in the X4 slot. The Win11 operating system detected it and it showed up in the Device Manager as expected. 5

Chad	12/07/2024
[ PCIe 1.0 x4] I bought it to use in RAID 0 configuration. It took some time to figure out how exactly to set that up as the instructions took a roundabout way to describe it (have to hold down set button for 5 seconds while booted). But the Mac sees the 2 drives as 1 and after formatting I'm at a cool 1000Mb/s read speed. Not bad for the price! 5
