StarTech.com 4-Slot PCIe Expansion Chassis w/PCIe x2 Host Card, PCIe 2.0-10Gbps, External PCIe Slots for Desktops/Servers, PCI Express Expansion Box/Adapter, 4 PCIe x1 Slots, TAA

works great, put my sound card on the external box and a few legacy peripherals. just make sure to read the instructions about powering on the device before the pc.

The specs, when I bought it, did not include information about the power supply, which turned out to be too weak to power a single decent graphics card. That made it useless for my purposes. Startech did allow me to return it (minus a restocking fee) though they didn't have to, so I appreciate that.

Solid product, easy installation. Great way to expand your computers abilities.

Just got this device, this gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of thinking, do I absolutely have to go without my PCI cards.. Also, wish this came with a linear power supply, but instead they give you a Switching Power Supply, so if you're into audio, this might introduce some distortion for some order sound cards. Also wish they provided atleast 1 mollex connector inside of the power supply or gave the ability to plug in an external PSU inside of the device I would have been super stoked about being able to do that.DO yourself a favor and purchase some rubber feat to go along with this device. It really should have come with some rubber feat to put it onto a hard service. None of which effects the functionality of the device, just got to get creative about how you use it.I'd totally spend the money again for this device.

I had a problem of having to upgrade my DAW with a mobo that didn't have an older style PCI slot for my ancient but still top-shelf sound interface. This item was supposed to do the trick of allowing me some bus expansion that included two older PCI slots. Except NOTHING I put in the was recognized in the Windows 10 Pro DAW. I tried everything I could think of but it never worked properly -- hell, it didn't work, period -- so ultimately I sent it back. Cannot recommend this product.

I purchased this not expecting it to work for my application: PCI based digital to analog converters (HEKA/Instrutech ITC1600).I was very pleased to find out it worked perfectly. It is great to have a break out box for the DA PCI cards - no more going into the computer when moving hardware around.My only complaint was that getting the cover off the box required removal of 9 or so small screws.

I use this to hold just data, and am very happy with the quality of the piece. It's not too heavy, which is a bonus considering I like to rearrange my configuration often. As others have noted, the screws are miniscule. Even having smaller hands, I find they can tend to escape. That's a minor annoyance in an otherwise efficient, high quality unit.

The board seems to work well so far. Their customer support has been fantastic. The box is a little small for me to easily get one of my cards in.Otherwise, great.

I bought this device so I can access my aging Xserve raid fibre channel PCI cards on a 2009 Mac Pro. I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised to see that it worked right out of the box and with decent speed. I would buy another.

Die StarTech PCI Express Expansion Box ist ein großartiges Produkt. Ich habe sie bestellt, weil das Mainboard im neuen Computer keinen PCI-Slot hat und ich meine Audiohardware von RME weiterhin nutzen möchte. Die PCI-Slots in der Box sind bei mir wie folgt belegt:[1] RME HDSP 9632 Hammerfall[2] RME HDSP 9652 Hammerfall[3] RME HDSP 9652 ExpansionDie Box wurde direkt von Windows 10 (x64) erkannt. Ein Treiber für die externe PCI-zu-PCIe Lösung ist nicht erforderlich. Die RME Audiokarten und Erweiterungen konnte ich wie gewohnt in Betrieb nehmen. Im Gegensatz zu den Produkten der anderen Hersteller (vermutlich Nachbau), startet der PC mit der verbundenen Original-Box von StarTech auch dann, wenn diese ausgeschaltet ist. Das ist in meinem Fall sogar sinnvoll, da nicht ständig die externe Audiohardware aktiv sein soll, wenn ich den Computer für anderen Zwecke nutze. Erst, wenn ich z. B. mit Steinberg Cubase Pro arbeite, schalte ich vor dem PC-Start die Box ein, um auf die externe Audiohardware zugreifen zu können.Da die in den PCI-Slots eingesetzten RME Audiokarten und Erweiterungen geräuschlos sind und keine Lüfter benötigen, ist die StarTech PCI Express Expansion Box eine ideale externe Lösung für alle Anwender, die aktuelle Mainboards nutzen, aber auf PCI-Slots nicht verzichten möchten, um ihr Audio-Equipment weiterhin nutzen zu können.

Funciona a la perfección justo para tarjetas madre que no tienen PCI o necesitan mas disponibles, detecta normalmente cualquier tarjeta PCI industrial o de uso común, obviamente que no supere sus especificaciones.

Emballage : très bien.Très beau désign.L'ensemble ne dépareille pas sur mon bureau.Sur le fond : appareil très utile pour ajouter à moa station de travail mes deux cartes PCI (possibilité de quatre).Tout fonctionne très bien.Rien à dire. Du bel ouvrage.

Appareil conforme à la description et à l'attente, livré dans les temps annoncés.Livré avec une carte PCI express mais associé dans mon cas à une autre carte pour PC portable (ExpressCard) achetée à part, fonctionne correctement sous Win7 64 bits.Par contre la finition est à revoir. Le boitier est rudimentaire, bas de gamme et mal fini à l'intérieur. J'ai été obligé d'aspirer puis de nettoyer un reliquat de poudre de peinture à l'intérieur du boitier avant de l'utiliser.Rapport qualité/prix médiocre.
