StarTech.com PCI Express to PCI Adapter Card - PCIe to PCI Converter Adapter with Low Profile / Half-Height Bracket , TAA (PEX1PCI1)

Works as promised With no drivers. Installed on a Windows 11 system. The card was recognized at boot. Be advised: this adapter will raise your card by about an inch and a half and may not work in some installations without case modification (butchering one of your card slots). However, in my situation that wasn't the necessary because I have a D-Sub and four proprietary firewire slots. Fortunately I only needed one slot and only one was available after the card installation. Therefore, I didn't have to cut out the card slot. I have some photos to show how I mounted the card. I use number six screw electrical screw kit! Save lots of money on this deal. Was either spend $350 on an outdated proprietary PCIe card, or 1500 to 2 grand on a new USB IO system. With this card I was able to use my old legacy PCI card and everything is beautiful? The Big Beautiful Card Installation😂

I initially had a lot of problems trying to work out why this did not work. Windows x64 Server 2012 R2 on Dual XEON Workstation Platform I kept getting the error However after trying the solution here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/646418E97E7AE91D86257C52006276F7 The problem was resolved and it worked fine. My Problem: When I look in the Windows Device Manager, the StarTech adapter shows up as a "PCI standard to PCI-to-PCI bridge" with a yellow exclamation mark next to it. When I click on the yellow exclamation point, I get the error Code 10: Device cannot start. Solution: You are getting this error because your BIOS is likely in native PCIe mode. The way that you can tell that your computer is in native PCIe mode is that one of your ports will be listed as a "PCI standard PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge" in the Windows Device Manager. Because the chassis is a PXI chassis rather than a PXIe chassis, the BIOS is having trouble enumerating the chassis while your PC is in native PCIe mode. In order to disable PCIe native mode, try the following steps: Open the start menu and type cmd in the search box Right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator In the command window, type bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable Reboot your computer If you decide that you want to enable native PCIe mode again, you can reverse this using the command: bcdedit /set pciexpress default

I purchased this adapter to work with the Avertv HD DVR High Definition / Analog Video Capture Card PCIe the I also bought at Amazon. Installation was very easy, however the PCIe card did not have any physical support on the adapter to to help keep it straight. It is possible to get it in there properly, but proceed cautiously. The card you are using this with must have a half height bracket to fit in with this adapter. The card I bought had this, so it was not an issue. Even seated properly, and confirmed several times, the capture card did not work well. Apparently it did get power and it did communicate through the adapter, but the input was such poor quality that it was useless. The video was barely recognizable. The capture card does work properly when plugged directly into a PCIe slot, so I do not fault the capture card. I needed this adapter since my graphics card blocks use of the PCIe slot when it is installed, so without this adapter working, I can have either my capture card OR graphics card installed on this motherboard. I assume there just isn't enough throughput with the adapter for this type of device and function. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend it, although with another, less demanding device it may work adequately. At ~$40 that may not be worth the risk.

Well, it works! That's a good start. I'll update this review if it suddenly stops working, but so far I have an E-MU 1212m soundcard working perfectly with this adapter. What I like: It works. What I don't like: I had to destroy my computer case to "install" it. Yes, you could neatly drill out a hole or modify your case, but since I don't know how to do any of that, I just took pliers and wretched around and wretched it. Looks hideous but the card is in and works, that's all that matters to me. In other words, it would be cool if you could use this adapter without adding the extra couple of inches of height. Apparently you could use a riser cable, sold separately, and then connect that to the adapter and the other end to your component. I was worried that might have been "one too many" adapter connections, but looking back it would probably work. One thing to note, if you have to use this adapter because your motherboard lacks PCI slots, you may want to just spend a bit more and upgrade your motherboard in general. I could have bought a second hand, very high end motherboard for $50-75, but I just paid $38 for this adapter. So I saved some money as well as having to install a new motherboard. But if you're hurting for PCI slots, you may want to consider a used motherboard upgrade. Glad I got it working. The soundcard is a beast!

Worked perfecly in my old PC

Su uso es simple no requiere mas drivers, solo quizas el de tu dispositivo pero tal cual se identifica como un antiguo pci sin problemas

Considering how expensive this adapter card is I was extremely disappointed that it does not support half height, mini PCIe cards. I bought another adapter that is $11 and it has the screw mounts and screws for both sizes of cards. Another expensive brand that is about the same price as the StarTech adapter at least has both mounting options. I had to spend another $8 on an adapter plate to get all my device options to work making this almost a $100 solution which is ridiculous at ten times the cost of other working solutions I have. In addition to all the other failures this adapter does not work with the Google Coral TPU cards, computer does not boot.

Works perfectly

Functions perfectly with my Adaptec card for SCSI. 5/5 stars. Does exactly as expected. Only minor complaint is that it makes the card hang past the IO openings in my case, but I don't think making this card any smaller would be feasible, so no points off. Good product, would recommend to others.

PCIe > PCI Es gibt diese Bridges deutlilch billiger, die sparen aber auch einige Bauteile ein. Soweit ich das überlicken kann ist diese Variante standardkonform und liefert sowohl 5v als auch 3,3v. Ob der Mitbewerb dem der Spannungsteiler fehlt dann statt 3,3v einfach 5v an die PCI Karte liefert oder auf dieser Schiene keine Spannung anliegt weiß ich nicht. Mir war das Experiment zu heikel, ich wollte meine RME-Karte nicht grillen, auch wenn ich glaub, daß sie sich ohnehin aus der 5v Schiene versorgt. Das beiliegende Slotblech zum Tausch ist auch genial. So sehen jetzt bei meiner RME Hammerfall 9632 alle Anschlüsse bis auf AES/EBU nach 'außen'. Dazu musste ich nur das Originale Slotblech abmontieren und das mitgelieferte noch etwas ausfeilen. Läuft wunderbar.
