  • Fixed my Reverb G2 cable issues
My Reverb G2 cable was not being recognized. Bought this adapter and now it works like new. I am hearing some motherboards do not put out enough power to the USB-C port for VR and this solves that issue by providing SATA power straight from your PSU. StarTech is always the best in quality...

  • Used for VR Oculus Quest 2 - Keeps it Charged
I needed this because the USB-C output on my motherboard did not supply enough power to charge my Oculus Quest 2 while playing and I would find myself running out of battery life at the worst times. I play DCS world so I will be on for long stretches of time. This card solved that problem, regardless of what percent battery my Quest 2 is when I start playing, whenever I stop playing, it is always at 100%. Problem solved...uh....mostly......because one downside was in game I was having major stuttering or jitters to the point it was almost unplayable and that didn't happen with the onboard USB-C so I knew it was this card. I was about to return this card but then I read that X570 Ryzen motherboards have issues with USB but a bios fix was coming. I have a X570 TUF Pro and I downloaded the latest bios that addresses some of the USB issues (bios dated Mar 22, 2021). Installed that and now I get jitters only once in a while, not enough to be distracting. The bios update seemed to have fixed it mostly and now my quest stays charged during gameplay that I don't have to worry about it so I am keeping this card and it has worked for my needs. There is supposed to be another x570 bios update coming for my motherboard so hopefully the new release will completely solve my jittering, but if not I am ok. BTW make sure the card is plugged to your power source using the SATA cable if you want to keep your Quest 2 charged. ... show more

  • Provides full charge power to USB-C ports and double the data rate of USB 3.0 ports
For charging or using power hungry devices off the card's ports there are no problems at all. The Watt rating for the card is accurate. Narrow profile board so no problems with adding it to the bus. No need to install a new driver with the card immediately recognized by the Windows 10 operating system. Data throughput is at least double that of the USB 3.0 ports. Well worth the money to upgrade my workstation. ... show more

  • Fixes HP Reverb G2 Compatibility. Expensive but you get what you pay for.
For people who are experiencing HP reverb G2 disconnect issues, this problem is due to signal corruption because of their lousy cable as well as power loss due to said cable. This USB C board compensates for both. 40-100% higher price than competing boards but after trying out two other devices that simply didn't support my HP Reverb G2, I went to my old standby, Startech. I used to compete with these guys and they make damned great products. What I liked about this product is that like so many of their products, Windows already has the driver because Startech only uses OEM components on their boards. These are the same components used on the motherboards themselves so the OS typically recognizes the board as one of its own. I tested in two different motherboards and in one the drivers had to be downloaded but that was automatic, in the other more modern board, the drivers were already present. ... show more

  • It works, but disconnects whenever PC goes to sleep
I had a similar card (same brand) for USB A, and replaced it with this new USB-C card. It works for the encrypted drive I attach to it, but each time the PC goes to sleep I must re-enter the Bit-Locker password to unlock the external drive. This did not happen with the USB A version. Tried many different things relating to power settings in Device Manager, but no luck. My drivers are also current. ... show more

  • Card works fine. Plug and play in Win10. Response to Oculus Link cable connection.
I don't get all the comments on needing drivers. My card plays nice right out of the box. No drivers were needed on my setup running Windows 10. Simple plug-and-play. I also own an Oculus Quest 2 and use the official Oculus Link cable. The reason why the Oculus Link cable doesn't fully seat in the USB-C port on the card is not the card's fault. The reason why the connection doesn't "click" in the port is because the housing around the USB-C connection of the Oculus Link cable is so fat that it hits the case trim, blocking the USB-C connection to fully insert in the card's USB-C slot. Other USB-C cords I have that don't have a fat housing (like the USB-C cord that comes with a MacBook) connects completely in the card with a click. All because the cord's housing doesn't hit the case trim. I wish the Oculus Link cable didn't have such a fat end. To resolve this, you can use the L-shape end of the Oculus Link cable to connect to the USB-C card port and the straight end into the Oculus Link. The L-shape end of the Oculus Link cable connects fully in the USB-C card port. ... show more

  • Works fine but be very careful with USB designation
This card works fine and is compatible with my docking station which is designated as USB 3.2. Both run at 10Gb/sec max speed. I bought this card to use with a USB 3.2 SSD/HDD docking station. Because of the confusion that surrounds the specs of USB like USB 3.0, USB 3.1, USB 3.1 Gen2, USB 3.2, USB 3.2x2 one can easily get a card that really isn't what you needed. I could have paid a little less for a card but would have rather paid a little more for 3.2 X2 which is 20Gb/sec. The problem is not with this card but with USB product labeling in general. I had originally requested a return for this card and cancelled it. I again decided to return it but the return window ended 2 days ago! Frustrating but was my error. ... show more
