This pcie x1 slot is on the pch chipset. Easy to install in a pci ex x4 or larger slot. Helps keep an older board going for a great home lab.
Cons
I have a blu-ray burner hooked up to this device and it cannot burn no matter what i try. Not recognized by motherboard. I used 4 cards in 4 gigabyte motherboards & they all hang after restart.
One or two of the drives randomly disappearing from windows. The cables sent with the drive are trash. I have no idea if it supports optical drives.
Amazon shipped it, you need to talk to them. Do not recommend. No worth trouble of returning.
Same result. Made absolutely no sense relative to my question.

Highlights
Quality
Used this to expand hard drive numbers from motherboard, works great for mining
Good controller card marvell 9215, compatible with macos
0 slot and the transfer speeds were limited to about 190mb/s.
I installed one of these a few years ago and it started failing - tricky to diagnose.
Price
A little pricey for what it does but works as expected
