[0.55 lb] 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

Aidan	27/09/2024
[2x 25Gb LC ] Great card that was quick and easy to install. Just power off the computer, slide the card in, and turn it back on. The BIOS recognized it and Windows automatically downloaded the drivers. It definitely creates a too easy feeling and I was worried I had missed something. Nope. 5

[0.55 lb] I learned a lesson by spending 30 dollars for a card that had 2 USB C and 3 USB A ports from amazon.com .... All SORTS of problems. This card from B&H has just 2 USB C ports but IT WORKS and it works at the advertised speed. Not one headache. Well worth the price. 5

[0.55 lb] Finally upgraded my backend to 10G; can recommend. 5

Scott	18/09/2024
[0.55 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

[2x 25Gb LC ] If you need PCIe cards, Sonnet makes great ones. I've never had any problem with any of the ones I've purchased and use. Reasonably priced. A great value for the bucks. 5

Anthony	15/09/2024
[2x 25Gb LC ] Plug and play pretty much. Works great and didn't need any software or anything on my PC to run it. No issues as of yet. 5

Joe	06/09/2024
[0.55 lb] I needed a 4x USBc card for my Gaming PC. This was cheap and did exactly what I needed it to do. 5

Gabriel	22/08/2024
[2x 25Gb LC ] 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

[2x 25Gb LC ] Worked on my PC, just plugged it in, no issues. I didn't check speeds, but downloading a XQD card went very quickly! 5
