General information
Product name
StarTech.com PCI-E controller card with 2 internal SATA III ports and 2 external eSATA ports .
The LDLC shop in Valence was out of stock and had warned me that this product had problems working. I ordered it at my own risk and I can confirm that it does not work.
For information, I ordered an EMRICKo3G from a conqueror, no installation problems, everything is automatic without any intervention on my part.
I am keeping the card I ordered from you and hope that the information I have given you will enable you to solve the problem with this card.

Good idea!
This PCI-E controller card with 2 SATA3 ports comes to our rescue because on most motherboards sold today there is a lack of SATA ports or none at all. Apparently, manufacturers consider SATA ports to be useless since mini-PCIe slots for M2 SSDs replace them and that we can do without multi-format drives since the "cloud" exists to store memories, music and everything else we own. It turns out that internal SATA3 ports are needed most of the time.

useful but you have to install the drivers otherwise crash
After 2 weeks of use (I plugged my old Blue Ray burner into an internal port) I had problems with Windows.
When I connected, the loader would run and then freeze. Impossible to access Windows. I also had problems reinstalling Windows, the repair discs couldn't cope.
When I removed the card: no more problems.
I put the card back in & unplugged the BR burner: no more problems.
I updated the drivers and plugged in the BR: no more problems.
Well then I removed some useless HD and plugged the BR into my motherboard...

Otherwise on the external ports to copy data, no problem. Fast and efficient. With an SSD, it runs like the wind.
Be careful if you have a 5''1/4 platter drive, you have to power it with 12V. I was able to get by with an old HD to USB adapter that used a molex male plug. But there are memory card readers + expansion ports that offer molex plugs on the front.
