Directions should be more clear, but that's a technology limitation not a design flaw. Was needed, which I got off newegg for under 9 dollars each. The Cable wasn't long enough, so a 12" extension cables I had to daisy chain off of my SATA DVD-ROM drive. In most cases this isn't an issue, desktop workstations usually have an abundance of 15 pin SATA power sources. There were many cards that were 25-30 with only USB 3.0 ports (I should have gone for those) but in my immense wisdom, I decided to dole out the money and paid 140 for this card (almost 5x the money of the other cards).
#Esata usb 3 card upgrade
Windows Server 2012 did see the PCI-E card with out the 15 pin SATA power connection hooked up, but it wouldn't acknowledge any USB External HDD, even if it had it's own power source. I was looking to upgrade my MacPro with USB3.0 and eSATA capability. I interpreted them as saying the 15 pin SATA power connection were "optional" for USB drives that didn't have their own power source. I will definitely purchase future PCI-E cards from them.Īnd of course NewEgg pricing and delivery speed was top notch.Ĭons: Directions were slightly misleading. I'm going to attribute the extra speed to the ridiculous raid set up, and H710 controller card as I'veĪll in all, the product is working exactly as described, and tech support was amazing from Koutech.

I'm transferring at speeds over 170mb/s (which is the fastest I've seen on usb 3.0 thus far) My M18X, and MacBook Pro usb 3.0 seem to cap around 100mb/s.

My server didn't have any extra 15 pin SATA power cables, I had to buy a 15 pin SATA extensionĬable and daisy chain off the SATA CD-ROM drive, but it works just fine. I have installed the card in the T620 Server, and the card did require the 15 pin SATA power cable in order to work properly (Instructions make it sound optional). I ordered two of these cards (PEU437) for my Dell Servers (T620, & T710). In less than 2 days I had a list of 18 different PCI-E cards that worked in Server 2012. Type-C Card Reader USB Hub 3.0 w/ 1 USB-C 3.1 Port 5.25 ' Front Panel Reader Multi Function Front Panel Reader 5.25 ' PC Front Panel Internal Card Reader Support CF MD XD MMC TF M2 MS eSATA. He hasn't tested any of their cards in Server 2012, but he would start testing and give me a product list in 2 days. Every other company still hasn't responded 2 months later. Pros: Contacted Koutech (and 5 other companies) asking what eSATA and USB 3.0 cards they had that would work in Windows Server 2012.
