Has anyone used this with the Intel eXtensible Host Controller Driver? 8 Series/C220 Chipset has issues with many USB 3.0 devices...

Yes, I have Anker's USB3.0 attached to Dell XPS 8500/8700 systems that use the usb3xhc driver, and have had no problems at all.

It should work because I was using this dock with an "Intel Next Unit of Computing Kit with HDMI, Thunderbolt, Core i3-3217UDC3217BY". To reduce the possibility of issue do the following: - Install latest BIOS in the machine and upgrade to Windows 8.1. Win 7 should work but I have not tested it, so I cannot recommend it. - Make sure that thunderbolt port is enabled in BIOS. - Install the Intel Thunderbolt Controller Driver for Windows 8.1 (you can get this from Lenovo web page). If you go with Win 7, get Win 7 Thunderbolt drivers instead. - Download latest Broadcom ethernet (NetXtreme Desktop/Mobile) drivers and Fresco Logic (FL-1000/1009 USB 3.0) from station-drivers web site. This docking has a Fresco Logic FL-1100 USB 3 controller, but the listed drivers will worked fine for me. - Turn off Fast Startup on Windows 8.x and shutdown the machine. - Plug the thunderbolt docking - Turn on the machine - Install Ethernet and USB3 drivers. In my case I installed Ethernet drivers first, reboot and then USB 3 drivers. Try hot plug in. As I mentioned before it may or may not work depending on the combination of BIOS and drivers in your machine.

Apparently, there are two chipset versions offered with thes. A while back I found a driver that worked great for mine and is described as applicable to the Ralink RT2870. I believe the link I used is no longer active but, there seems to be several sites offering it. Hope this helps.

I believe it's only 2.0, at least with the version I purchased. There very possibly may be a newer version out. I put it in my Dell desktop to replace a burned out USB controller on the main board and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

Hi C. Prendergast, I do believe I have used it in a USB 3.0 port before without issues. USB 3 hubs are supposed to be back compatible with all USB devices, so if it is giving you issues make sure you have installed any controller firmwares/drivers that it may require. Hope this helps :)

Some USB 3.0 adapters are finicky, or dont work. YMMV. If you find something that works, stick with it.

In my system with windows 8.1 I found that yes it was recognized sometimes, most not until I installed the drivers; then the usb 3 came alive. if you have not found the right ones email me through my seller account here.

This used to work on Windows 8, but I tried to use it today on Windows 8.1 and the device driver no longer loads correctly. I tried contacting the company to see if they are coming out with a new driver. http://www.gearmo.com/shop/fast-usb2-infrared-adapter/

I returned the LSI card, because it wouldn't work with my Asus motherboard. I bought an Areca hard driver controller and it worked fine.

I have yet to get this to work on a Win7 box. Two difffernet drives, two different Win7 boxes and nary a connection, nada, nothing. Device manager shows the controller and the drive, but no way to access it. Am I missing something?

I haven't tested it on Windows.I have installed them on Linux.But I would suggest try it, with a live CD from fedora or ubuntu, as those distress already have drivers for this NIC.If the OS (linux) see 4 ports, it is a driver issue, if not... it's a hardware issue.Have a great day.

It works great with Suse and Open Suse Linux with no problems using standard drivers installed with linux -- I don't use the Setpoint, so I can't speak to that issue

I had Win7 Pro x64 installed when I first used this adapter. I plugged it in and setup the driver, no problems. Later upgraded to 8 & 8.1. Check that your USB port isn't an issue? Try another port maybe. I used a 2.0 USB port.

The disk that came with mine had only Windows drivers. The pertinent question is what is the chipset used in this Bluetooth device, because Linux drivers will be written to the chipset, not to the brand name on the outside of the device. The device looks like a Broadcom BMC20702 device to Windows, so I would look for drivers for that device. That does not directly answer the question but it is the best I can do.
