Will this work with 16X slots as well, or is it only for 1X slots?

Our risers have been tested in 1,4,6,8,16x slots. You shouldn't have an issue.

It should be supported in Win 8. I won't foresee any compatibility issue. Yes, it only takes up one slot. It will not interfere with adjacent slots.

You can, I used 3 slots at once before. I used the MS slot, USB slot, and the TF slot all at once and they all functioned correctly. I haven't tested the others though, simply because I have nothing to test them with.

To the best of my knowledge any pcie can work in any larger sized slot... ie x4 will fit in x8 or x16 so im pretty certain that x1 will fit into any. Your main consideration with this would be the speed of the slot itself, pci has different versions, 1,2,3. Basically what I'm saying is that it should work, it should power and it should read but dependant on your motherboard your speed may be halved. I assure you that you will still get ~100MBps speed from internal hdd to your usb drives. Any further questions or quieries, please respond, glad to help.

My system runs a x16. I guess looking up my possible candidates I didn't realize the obvious difference. I plugged the card in and it still works! However, I would advise looking for x16 still, because it sounds like that is not always the case.

Yes. To quote the PCI Express article in Wikipedia: "A PCIe card physically fits (and works correctly) in any slot that is at least as large as it is (e.g., an x1 sized card will work in any sized slot)." My own experience confirms this and I know I've used the card in either x4 or x16 slots previously.

YesYes, the PCI-E bus is a standard - the x1 to x16 indicates the number of lanes supported by the slot. You can get some good details from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express To summarize for you - as long as the slot has more lanes than the card you want to install in it, it'll work. So, you can put a x1, x4, x8 or x16 card into a x16 slot. The reverse it NOT true - you cannot put an x8 card into a x1 slot, for example. Good luck!

Yes I think so. I think it will fit into all PCI Express slots. I had not this small slot myself and I think I used this PCI Expres 16 slot for this very good card. Best regards Otto

Works on my Nikon D700. I've always used just one slot, the top one. Some have reported that an error happens if using both slots.

Yes this card is compatible with any pci express slot 1x and above. I have mine plugged into my PCI-express x 16

Assuming it is a 16x port (the wide one with lots of connectors that you would ever consider plugging a graphics card into), and not a 1X port (the really narrow one you might plug in a card which provides extra USB ports into) then yes, it will work. The lower bandwidth will reduce performance. Depending on what your are doing the performance reduction can range from nothing you could ever notice to a moderate amount. It won't be severe.

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference.Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.

It will still only operate at the 1x slots speed. 1x can handle 250 MB/sec vs 16x which can handle 4000 MB/sec. This is fine for mining coins because you don't need the bandwidth. For actual gaming though you'd probably want to put your card into the 16x slot and not the 1x slot.

Yes it is a 2.0 x16 slot card. You won't have problems fitting this card in your computer because of its size. Its a very nice card for the price. I have one in my computer for a while now without anything going wrong with it.

PCI Express x16 interface so check on ur manual or online to see if you have that slot.

As far as I know, the slot location does not matter. I've moved my card twice now and the computer automatically recognized it. I have 3 available slots on my motherboard and it works the same in at least two.

Yes it will work in a pcie 8x or 16x slot The power plug is there because electric signals degrade over distance, and the plug is used to compensate for the distance. It's not required but I would recommend using it
