Review: Windows 7 Driver Problems & Failing on Linux Kernel's >5.8 missing renesas_usb_fw.mem! - The driver disk fails to install drivers within sometime during the middle lifetime and after the lifetime of Windows 7. After viewing the drivers used for Windows 10, it is almost obvious the drivers had to be rewritten/recompiled by Microsoft instead of the manufacturer. I had to perform many downloads from 3rd party risky websites as Renesas (the chip maker or original designer of this layout) does not publish Windows 7 drivers until I finally acquired several reliable ones from Dell/HP and other sites. (2020.02.20 Currently, Renesas only hosts a download for the USB library design kit only, no driver files or source code.) If you're using Windows 7 or other operating system aside from Linux or Windows 10, you're going to be vainly searching for an "Extensible USB Host Controller" driver. (Windows 7 installs an inoperable/non-working stub driver "USB Host Serial" driver.) Linux dmesg | grep 03:00 [ 0.412520] pci 0000:03:00.0: [1912:0014] type 00 class 0x0c0330 Vender: 1912 Device: 0014 Linux lspci | grep 03:00 03:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 30 [XHCI]) Maker: Renesas Model: uPD720201 From my memory, chips imprinted with Made in China. How to manually install drivers for Windows 7/Vista/XP: The driver EXE (RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-30230-setup.exe) package installs driver and application files to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Renesas A sub-extracted MSI (.msi) rusb3drv.msi file containing the actual Renesas drivers can be found within: C:\ProgramData\Downloaded Installations\{58A47A70-7367-4CD6-BCF0-D6857A4093FB} However, once the driver EXE file performs a partial install, or has an existing installation, all the drivers can be found within the Program Files (x86)\Renesas folder without using the EXE again. Simply use the the Windows 7 device manager to update the non-working (Renesas VENDOR: 1912 DEVICE 0014) Host Controller driver with specifying the Program Files (x86)\Renesas folder as the location of the driver files. Likely will have another non-working driver (Renasas Root Hub driver) install and showing within the Device Manager, and will need to manually update the driver pointing to the Program Files (x86)\Renesas folder as well. Also may need to search the Task Manager for a rusb3.exe process related to the Renesas program install, starting automatically, and maybe needed to end the process prior to attempting to install/update the drivers. PROS 1) Four 3.0 USB rear ports with an internal USB 3.0 header for front USB 3.0 ports. 2) Does work in Linux and Windows 10. 3) Gold plated preventing corrosion. 4) Still working after 2.5 years. CONS 1) Driver install disk fails to install drivers via it's automation. 2) Driver disk does not contain any easily extractable or obtainable driver for manual or fallback installation methods. 3) Driver package RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-30230-setup.exe install fails within middle lifetime and after lifetime of Windows 7. 2020.02.20 After more research and tries, I found where the actual drivers are extracted/installed to and manually used the Device Manager to install/update the drivers. Likely at one time half installed the drivers, then failed, with no fallback to complete installing the drivers. I reverted my review from one star to four stars. 2021.07.21 Works only in Windows or Linux kernel's  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind 3) Update the firmware, states non-persistent, but upon reboot, I had no problems using the USB controller with no need to re-run the firmware uploading. # ./upd72020x-load -u -b 0x03 -d 0x00 -f 0x0 -i /home/roger/src/renesas/uPD72020x-Firmware/UPDATE.mem 4) Attach the USB PCIe controller: # echo -n 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind 5) I also copied the UPDATE.mem firmware file to /lib/firmware/renesas_usb_fw.mem, so plausible the firmware could be uploading now on reboot, as the card might now recognize the more recent firmware as legit? I'll need to perform many more reboots to figure-out if the /lib/firmware/renesas_usb_fw.mem file is still needed, etc. Reference: https://github.com/markusj/upd72020x-load https://github.com/denisandroid/uPD72020x-Firmware
Review: A high quality item that performs as advertised - This is a very well made add on PCI-E card, especially suited for upgrading an older computer than has an empty PCI slot but not enough USB3 ports. The data transmission speed through the card ports is faster than what I get from the original header off the motherboard. I advise being careful to check the exact specs and part numbers when purchasing this type of product, since the quality and reliability of different brands varies from poor to excellent. The Mailiya brand seems to be excellent. A couple words of advice on installing this card. They have thoughtfully included plenty of cords to connect this card to your PSU. The supplemental power connection is really necessary, since you could end up drawing in excess of 25 watts through the card if you are careless in your choice of plug in accessories. The PCI card slot can't support that power draw and you'll have problems without the supplemental direct connection to the PSU. Also, for my particular computer, the data transmission speed through the 20 pin extra connector (like to the front panel of the computer) seemed a bit slower than the five direct ports. This may have been an individual thing with my hardware and not necessarily a fault of the card. I would not consider this a negative.

## Features

- Superspeed USB 3.0 supports transfer rates of up to 5Gbps - The actual transmission speed is limited by the setting of the device connected
- Supports up to 7 USB 3.0 devices: 5 USB 3.0 port hub and 1 internal 20pin connector for expanding another two USB 3.0 ports
- Include with SATA 15-pin male to dual SATA 15-pin female power Y-Cable - 6.4 inches + 4-pin male to dual SATA 15-pin female power Y-Cable - 8 inches(the cable in older computers without 15pin SATA power connector is used to 4pin convert to SATA ports)
- Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices; Operating system compatibility: Windows XP/Vista/Server/7/8/10, Linux
- With quick and easy installation, this USB 3.0 PCI express I/O Card offers a simple solution for connecting to and using USB 3.0 devices to your standard desktop PC. Enjoy copying videos, music, photos, data files between USB devices and the computer at blazing fast speeds

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does any one knows website to download the drvers pls.**
A: Please download the driver from below link:https://1drv.ms/f/s!Alr2l36bVcNedEOAOLxW_DDYnto

**Q: 1) Where are instruction? 2) Why are there 2 SATA cables included? 3) What is the second connection input on the card?**
A: 1) They aren't really necessary. It's plug-and-play. 2) A single Molex connector can drive 2 sata plugs. You only need one to power the card. The other is for whatever else. 3) The large block connector is typically used to connect a case USB header (some cases have usb connectors on the front.) That's what you plug into the card. It's optional.

**Q: ive done everything the set guide says. why dont devices show up and card is listed as standard enhanced pci to usb host controller**
A: Did you load their driver?

**Q: will this work with a regular pci 1 or pci 2 slot.  I do not have pci express slot**
A: No, it will only work on a PCI Express slot (1x or higher).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ POWERful solution for people who need super-dependable non-quirky POWERED USB 3.0 x 5 connections!
*by R***L on March 29, 2017*

I was told by other flight simulation enthusiasts that USB is a stumbling block, and unexpected behavior can occur when using powered external USB hubs, but I refused to believe it - UNTIL I began having weird behavior and sudden USB disconnects with an external USB powered-hub that had 9 or 10 USB devices plugged in. A noted simulation PC-builder (Jetline systems, Florida, USA) recommended I go with PCI-e internal USB cards, and I hunted up the Mailiya cards that are the subject of this review. I ordered two of them, came to about $53 including tax with free prime shipping. They showed up, and IMPORTANT- they came with both MOLEX and SATA power splitter cables, which is a HUGE and IMPORTANT thing when upgrading. I was able install these in my Dell XPS 8500 side-by-side, even after I had upgraded the video card to a GTX 770 2-wide gpu. Plugged 9 or 10 USB devices into these two cards, and Bob's my uncle! Fired up perfectly on first boot, no issues, no problems and NO DRIVERS NEEDED (Windows 10 system). If you are on the fence, I recommend you try these cards. They are all that and two bags of Tostitos! Truly, one of the BEST upgrades I have ever discovered. Would buy again.
