Bought to replace an Intel high-end motherboard failed, I decided to go on the entry to contain costs. This card offers the basics: SATA 3, USB 3 ports 1x PCIe (for my sound card). What more? once reinstalled all is left as in 40, or almost. The downsides: no Wake on LAN, piloting some way fans, BIOS somewhat capricious: I regularly boot a message saying that the BIOS is not configured. Fortunately saved profiles are always present and I can reapply them directly without having to enter the BIOS.
