Can I connect it to an interior type A socket on a PCIe card? My MB's 20 pin USB socket is already occupied, alas.

Yes. The unit comes with both a 20 pin USB cable and a regular Type A USB cable. Remember, however, your PCIe card must be a USB 3.0 model in order to get USB 3.0 speeds. Syba and other manufacturers offer PCI-USB cards with both USB 3.0 female and USB 3.0 20 pin receptacles. That way you could still use the 20 pin cable.

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.

I don't believe so. Generally with PCI, stick to the slot it's specifically made for.

It only has a cable with a connector for the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. If your motherboard doesn't have such a header, you can't use this card reader.

No. Go to amazon site copy link and past to your browser. Scoll to bottom of page read the tech stuff discriptions. THis card requires a PCIe 2.0 abd a16 lane graphic slot on the mobo. PCI is not 16 lane. Note the "Express" in the nomenclature. my question to you is did you not read the specs or did not understand. Suggest you do more research on line on the difference between varions type of mobo slots and what they do or what they accommodate in a way of cards.

Yes, you still need to install an internal card. Hopefully you have some vacant PCIe slots in your computer.

Yes the connector for usb 3.0 is a very different 20 pin connector from the psu power cable. Your mobo has a dedicated connector in its spec for USB 3.0 that will work just fine.

It is supposed to be connected to the motherboard. I think it can be connected to your motherboard since this pci card gets fitted in a pci bus slot provided in every motherboard.

The card will plug into Also you wPCI-Express (PCI-E) X1 or X16 slots. Usually these are marked on the mother board. PCI-E X1 is smaller and PCI-E X16 is a bigger slot. I can't answer with respect to brand name computers. Also, you will need to install the driver before the card will work properly. The driver will be provided with the hardware by Anker. I have no problems with this card.

That's the reason I bought this card I have a MB with only one PCIe X1 slot and no video card The OS it's windows home server 1Only using VGA out And it work of the box (I do not research for your MB specs)Cheers

There should be a smaller plug, usually black, at the back of the motherboard that says PCIE under it. If you have the plug it should work as long as you have an available power plug to fit.

yes you can! make sure it's seated firmly in the socket and you're good to go with a bit of bios tweaking.

You don't actually use a PCI port, just the bracket slot. That port, however, will be useless with the module in place.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card can only be used in a PCIE X16 slot. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Sorry I never hooked up the internal USB port on this card. If the out side ports work then most likely the internal port is bad. If the external enclosure gets its power from the USB port and it will work on the out side port I would say its bad. Did you try some other USB device on the internal port? If it worked but will not work with the external enclosure then it means it does not have the right connection to supply power to the enclosure.

Only for the two USB 3 ports to work. Everything else will work fine. If you do not have a USB 3 connection on your motherboard, you can get a pci-e USB 3 card for cheap (~ $10)and use that. Just make sure that it also has the internal connectors.
