In recent years, an increasing number of USB have accumulated in me, which are also used regularly. The pair of terminals on the rear panel were occupied quickly. Soon the question arose where out with the USB plugs? So far, I always use an external USB hub located on my desk. It looks not nice, but it served its purpose. The more elegant alternative is this internal USB card. The Inateck KT7001 has no less than 7 USB ports of version 3.0! The card is simply inserted into the PC or Mac. For installation you need an available PCI Express 2.0 x1 ports, and a free SATA port. The mounting screws required, SATA cable, as well as the driver CD are included. However, no driver required for installation under Windows 8.1. How does it work in older operating systems like Windows XP and Vista, I can not say unfortunately. Under Windows 8.1 64-bit, the card is automatically detected and set. In operation, the card works absolutely flawlessly. All connected devices are detected and ran without problems. The distance of 7 USB ports is sufficient. All ports can be used simultaneously. Only with especially thick USB cable, it can sometimes be tight.
Conclusion: Anyone who uses many USB devices, for an extension definitely useful. Who wants to have it cleaned up like, I can recommend this internal USB expansion card. Provided is a free PCI Express port. The installation is made simple and is even for the novice easily doable. In my eyes, the 7x USB card 5 has earned of 5 stars!
