Transcend Carte Adaptateur PCI-e TS-PDC3 Information avec 2 Ports USB 3.0, 2 Ports SATA III

Bon, le SATA III sur port x1, ne rêvez-pas, ça ne peut techniquement pas fonctionner correctement MAIS si vous n'avez qu'un seul port x1 disponible sur votre carte mère, c'est LA carte à choisir. Elle redonnera du souffle à votre carte mère en ne consommant qu'un seul slot. Si vous avez du x4, il semble que ça serait correct mais je ne peux pas le vérifier.

Les débits en SATA III sont convenables avec des disques SATA III classiques et ça ajoute 2 ports, c'est bien agréable. Installer un SSD sur le port 0 et s'attendre à des merveilles vous exposerait à de fortes déconvenues, avis d'informaticien et d'électronicien.

L'USB 3.0 est bien géré. Petite galère de pilotes mais la carte s'installe facilement, même en x64.

Bref, ce compromis est plus qu'acceptable mais tout ça, je le savais avant d'acheter.

Vendeur fiable et rapide merci.

Excellent - compatible Ubuntu sans pilote supplémentaire

Reçu rapidement, j'ai installé la carte dans un serveur HP Proliant N40L, sans problème à part le détail de l'alimentation, et j'ai branché dessus un SSD sandisk SATA III et un seagate Backup plus de 2 TB USB III. Le système boot et fonctionne sans problème du SSD sous ubuntu server 12.04 sans aucun pilote supplémentaire.
Dommage que HP n'ait pas pensé à installer une telle carte d'origine dans ce serveur.
A conseiller pour tout système duquel on demande un peu plus en performances. PDC3 Combo Expansion Card - Speicher/USB3.0-Controller - SuperSpeed USB 3.0 / SATA-600 Low Profile

Gains spectaculaires

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 30 juin 2013

Indispensable pour profiter d'un SSD qui etait bridé par le sata 2 , les gains en USB3 sont moins spectaculaires mais réels , évite de changer la CM qui serait quand mème vite obsolète avec l'arrivée de PCIex 3 .

Pas de problème de boot sur le disque SATA de la carte avec 2 PC à carte mère Gigabyte (Driver installé par Windows 7/8 Broadcom). USB3 ok (Driver NEC Renesas), Windows 7/8 ne l'installe pas automatiquement.
Ok également sur Osx 10.8.2 avec les drivers idoines.

Produit correctement fabriqué, pas de docs, pilote non dispo dans la boite, un comble !!!
L' indication du lien par le fabricant pour le télécharger, FAUX, ça commence à bien faire !!!
Il faut télécharger le pilote RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-30200-Setup-x86-x64-Binary.
C'est le SEUL qui fonctionne.
Fonctionne bien sous Windows 7/8, MacOSX 10.8 avec kext CalDigitUSBxHCI et Linux.
Prévoir une alimentation par prise MOLEX 4 CONTACTS.
Carton rouge au fabricant !

L'installation en bas profil PCI x1 version 2.0

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 4 janvier 2013

Bonne petite carte bas profil pour ajouter des ports supplémentaire à cout moyen, fonctionne parfaitement sous windows 8 64 bits, Malheureusement il faut télécharger soi-même le pilote sur le site du constructeur. Pour windows 8 64 bits, j'ai quand même du installer le pilote en manuel pour le sata 3, pourtant le constructeur dit que ce n'est pas nécessaire sous windows 8

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 8 août 2012

Ayant un ordinateur sans USB 3 ni sata3, je suis ravi de'avoir trouvé un module qui accèlère de façon considérable les transferts en n'utilisant qu'un seul emplacement PCIE. Avec un disque SSD système et un disque 7200 tours, le résultat est incroyablement plus rapide.

fonctionne parfaitement sous linux, seul petit reproche: pas de rallonge d'alimentation fourni (il faut que vous en ayez un assez long de dispo dans le boitier)

Allows for additional USB3/Sata ports if necessary...not suitable for all builds though!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 11 septembre 2013

I bought this product to enable me to configure RAID 5 on my 3x3TB HDD's, but as it turns out can only accommodate RAID 0 or 1, which was disappointing and I wish someone had the foresight (like I am now doing) to write it in a review, so others will know!

I then decided to install it in my HP Proliant Microserver, as it only has 4 drive bays for traditional HDD's not SSD's. After installing my server went haywire and I couldn't boot it up at all, despite knowing my way around BIOS and making sure all the necessary settings were correct. In the end I had to relent and uninstall it in order to get my server to boot again.

All in all I am a little disappointed that the only real use I have for this now is to add 2 USB3 ports to one of my PC's. Regardless it does what it says on the tin, but is not 100% compatible with pre-built systems...custom builds should have no probs however.

Transcend TS-PDC3 Combo PCI-e Interface Card 2 x USB 3.0 2 x SATA III

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 20 octobre 2012

The SATA III port on this card is no faster than the SATA II ports on my motherboard. Transcend drivers installed and at boot ACHI mode and that the SSD is connected with SATA 3 is reported although boot time is the same for both SATA II & III. In fact connecting my Samsung 830 SSD to one of the two ports (other port left unused)and using the Samsung Magician software to test the SSD's performance it returned worse readings under SATA III in all 4 tests. It's probably something to do with the data throughput of the PCIe x 1 slot used, perhaps if PCIe x 4 or higher slots used the card would perform better but I only have PCIe x 1 slot spare on the motherboard. Unable to test (see below however) the USB 3 port through-put as yet but would suggest thar if you only want USB 3 and need additional SATA ports then this product is OK but not if you really want full performance (6Gb/s) SATA III.
Apart from this issue the card seems well made and comes with a SATA lead,a molex to SATA power lead and a low profile bracket. Just make sure when ordering that it is not supplied by a company based in the USA. Mine was but it was not obvious as the normal Amazon despatch times were shown at check-out and it was not until the tracking info appeared on the order that it was obvious the item was being sent from the USA so instead of the stated 3-5 business days it in fact took 10 business days. But at least the company (HotDeals4less) in the US were very helpful and communicated well.

Added later....... After attempting various tweeks to get the SATA III port to return better speeds I discovered that this card has to be installed in a PCIe gen2 (PCIe 2 x 1) slot, this info was supplied by Transcend support. As I believe the only slot I have available is a PCIe x 1 (I believe this is classed as a gen1) this explains why the SATA III speed is worse than SATA II under these circumstances. Subsequent tests on the USB3 port indicate an increase in speed by around a factor of 3 (using CrystalDiskMark) depending upon the test so at least the USB3 port does give an increase but nowhere near the 10X claimed for USB3 over USB2.

Installing SATA 3, not for the faint hearted or the poor

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 6 janvier 2014

It is not too clear that if you want to fit a hard drive over 2.2 TB in size the you need a SATA 3 controller otherwise it sees only sees 746GB drive if connected to SATA 2 Port. Then you have the problem that you need 64 Bit Windows to generate the LBAs needed.

I fitted a 3TB Western Digital drive in a Dell 745 and had to kiss good bye to a Windows XP Pro 32 Bit O/S that was running like a stream train and upgraded to Windows XP Ultimate 64Bit. The PSU in the Dell is customised for that machine to providing the DC power to the card was a problem as only 4 SATA power plugs are provided and it is impossible to power the Hard drive and the DVD-ROM unless you relocate the hard drive out of its normal position into a 3.5 inch adaptor in the second 5.5 inch bay below the DVD. I did it with a SATA to SATA +Molex power adapter cable, Failure to power the card results in the USB port reporting power overload, even when unused. I also discovered SATA DVD cannot be powered via a Molex/SATA adapter cable, they need the extra voltage.

The driver for the SATA 3 was native and the documentation for installing the USB 3.0 a little poor. You best going by the pictures rather than trying to follow model/part numbers and card functions. Typical, not written for the western mind.

The system now has 2x 3TB drives on the card with 500GB, 750GB & 2TB on SATA 2 ports. A Bluray writer (USB 3.0) and a 4GB external USB 3.0 drive.

One interesting bit of diagnostic information. If you have a problem with another drive connected to one of the native mother board ports. The system seams to hang when you are expecting the card to flash up what drives it has discovered on its ports.
and may lead you to think there is a problem with the card/drive when there is not.

So far so good

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 30 janvier 2013

I purchased this PCI card because my motherboard did not have USB 3.0 or SATA 3 ports. I thought it would be a perfect solution for me since I have two sata 3 ssd's and two usb 3.0 drives. And guess what? It was.
Installation was a matter of 2 minutes. Easy, fuss-free and the provided sata power cable eliminated the need for a molex adapter.
As I always do with my reviews, I give some time for the product to operate before publishing any of them. And I would have to say after 60 days, so far so good.
I've uploaded an image, a comparison between the motherboard's sata 2 port and this card's sata 3 port. Sequential and random write stayed about the same. Sequential read went from 262 to 317 (even though my motherboard's PCI express is V1.0) and random read was almost double. Usb 3.0 performance on transferring files went from 30-45mb/sec to 90-110mb/sec for my disks.
Windows 7 64bit rating went from 7.6 to 7.9 (Samsung 830 64gb)

And some notes...
-It is x1, which was perfect for me as I did not a have any x4 or x8 slot and my graphics card is on x16 slot.
-You should check your PSU's provided connectors first. I had plenty of sata power connectors but 0/3 molex available. Therefore you might need a splitter.
-This card will fully perform when connected to a PCI express V2.0 slot.
-SATA works out-of-the-box but you need to install drivers for usb 3.0 from transcend's website. There are two different drivers, check your card's version and serial number to download the appropriate one.
-Make sure you enable AHCI mode on your BIOS settings. If you are stuck on IDE, just google "IDE to AHCI", it takes only a few seconds to change it.

Most unhappy

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 3 avril 2013

Arrived on time when stated. Wasted hours trying to make it work. Windows 7 64 bit would not recognize it at all. Enabled all correct settings in bios, downloaded all the correct drivers tried everything dead end trying everything. Before anyone says did you do this or that? I assure you tried everything. Noted on the software license agreement several pages of we are not liable etc finishing up saying you may have to contact your motherboard manufacturer and pay for advice. Maybe I was unlucky with a dud card but suspect not.
