btw the card is from monoprice but again the western digital gave me the same reaction
EDIT - I removed the card from my pc and it still shows unknown device so that yellow warning is NOT related to this usb pcie card. Wow - i can’t believe I can’t get my mobo to recognize this. Very fustrating. Should just be plug and play. It has to be a compatibility issue with my mobo.
EDIT #2 - Someone on the asus board mentioned that the USB 3.0 cards I have seen all call for full compliance with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0. This means a PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot not a PCI Express x1 slot.
I probably don’t have a PCIE 2.0 x1 slot just the normal one. Wonder if I can apply a soft update to get 2.0…
