is it a bootable card?

Cards are hardware, an extension of the system board. Although the system I installed this card in did not need to boot to the (optical) drive I used it for, I would be surprised to learn that it could not be used to do so.

Yes. But, this isn't a UEFI card. This means you need to configure your bios to allow this if you are running a UEFI computer (I think any computer you buy today with Win 8+ is UEFI).

Yes that's actually the card I'm using with this board. No issues whatsoever just make sure your power supply can handle it and has available power connectors the card requires.

yes. but the card is a piece of junk. spend a fewvmore dollars and get a good card.

Yes, but make sure to download the driver from the Asus site and not use the driver in the included disc.

yes, you can if you choose. you'd just have to set the boot order correctly in the BIOS

Yes, you can reformat this card as NTFS. It will come shipped with exFAT formatting.

Yes it is. U have to get the win 8 drivers on the website. Connect card first. Then run Ceton software.

If you're using a 'boot device selectable' bios like on most @sus boards then it does just fine. Stick it on a 'bought' PC you would have to experiment. Bit it's a very cheap gamble as price is fantastic.

On these controller cards you need to do a fresh install of the operating system to install drivers during the O/S installation process. You cannot bring an existing bootable device and expect to boot off this controller card.

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it.http://goo.gl/7108ON

No `it would not support boot ROM..Any 3.0 USB card,Including 3.0 USB mother board built in, not support boot ROMBecause they are not plug and play, the os recognize it as unknown devise So you need to install each time software for 3.0 USB, even if you format the software and install the os again 3.0 USB not be available till you install the software But USB 2.0 built in, or support cards they can because they plug and playsupport boot ROMam sorry

I'e checked it can be formatted to be bootable. Ubuntu boots in less a minute. I think it was reformatted by me about 100 times for testing speed with different fs, I don't see any lost space.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

I have not tried yet. it seems to be tricky with the UEFI boot. I went the virtual machne way instead. It runs great with the amount of power this beast has. Best regards Clement

According to the Asus website it is. Need to have a Bios version of 0402 or greater.
