Periodically check for updated drivers on the Conceptronic website to ensure compatibility and performance enhancements.

Troubleshooting

• Card Not Detected: Ensure the card is fully seated in the PCIe slot. Verify that the SATA power connector is securely attached.
• USB Devices Not Working: Confirm that the drivers are correctly installed. Check Device Manager in Windows (or equivalent in other OS) for any error messages related to the USB controller. Try connecting the USB device to another port to rule out device issues.
• Slow Transfer Speeds: Ensure both the connected device and the cable support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s). Older USB devices or cables will operate at their respective lower speeds. Verify UASP support is enabled if applicable.
• Power Issues: If high-power USB devices are not functioning correctly, ensure your PSU has sufficient wattage and that the SATA power cable is properly connected to the card.
