Pros & Cons
Pros
Worked perfectly out of the box in my msi b350m mortar motherboard. Installed a samsung 970 evo plus with is. Works in a mac pro 2010 running mojave. Each sata connector needs to be connected to the motherboard sata controller port.
When no nmve/pcie ssd is installed in the adapter card, this card is completely transparent to the host/workstation. To see nvme drives, use boot menu | and scroll down to the bottom.
High-speed asm2824 switch is really performant, and delivers faster speeds than the nvme card installed directly on my motherboard. It's blazingly fast and also my machine boots from this drive. I now have a mirrored openzfs pool and it runs great.
Works flawlessly. Very neat and no spaghetti. There are more expensive solutions out there but the instructions are great.
This is a rare item that has three (yes, 3) m. Power on/off, m. Fantastic m. The m. Wish they came out with a 16x (4), m. X nmve m.
Cons
Card was not detected whatsoever by the motherboard. That's a downer, as i was hoping to have a fully solid-state build, and boot to the the drives attached to this card. Tries to boot, gets as far as loading the kernel ( linux) then reboots.
The asm1061 chipset seems to only have an outdated driver for windows 10. Windows driver only shows 2 disks. Downloaded the syba drivers from the syba site, and still not working correctly. Unable to use this device in my computer.

Simple installation, no drivers needed for win10, pre-configured for the esata to be active.
2 a sudden failure in one, or the nas powering off incorrectly could brick your unit and require a complete re-install.
If it is used in minor transfer slots, it becomes a bottleneck and wastes its bus speed.
Price
Great value for adding sata connectors to your pc or connecting a direct attached storage device.
The ssd was made for probably for pci gen 4 or so, but this adapter allowed the ssd to run and boot in a gen 2 slot ($20 more a... Read More
I got this adapter card only after 2 other cards failed me - one for only $15 & one for $40.
That's worth more than few dollars of possible savings, at least to me.
Shipping
They were very prompt and helped me plan the process.
Packaging/appearance
Read instructions on which package it is.
Competitiveness
I started off with a cheap, no name brand and it dropped by nvme drive and caused a crash on a poweredge server (using with esxi vsphere 7.
There are cheaper non-name alternatives with a lot of reviews, but i needed this one for a system that needs to be working at a... Read More
I guess the new mac pro works differently from the old 2006-2012 mac pros.

Download the latest driver from the startech website instead of using the cd

The card is smaller than i expected and even though it was right underneath my gpu i didnt feel like it restricted the airflow in any meaningful way

Trying to copy data to more than one drive at a time seemed flaky and was slower than copying data to just a single drive
