(More customer reviews)Unpacked Asus U3S6 a week ago, after using my Crucial SSD on sata II for a while now since my mobo is Asus Rampage II extreme which doesn't support SATA III naturally, I was overwhelmed to find a product that's affordable and saves me the money of buying a new mobo (300$~) and the time of installing one.
Before you buy this product check if your mobo is supported on manufacturer's website, my rampage ii wasn't listed on the box but after installation it worked for me.
The Reason I gave it 4 stars was the lack of proper instruction, I struggled for 2 days through trial/error until i figured out the following: These are the steps if you want the SSD to have primary OS installed on: (Most likely if you don't follow these steps you will get a blue screen while logging in windows, and keep restarting)
1- Unpack your add-on card.
2- Install the card in a PCIx16 or PCIx4. (DON'T disconnect any old SSD/HDD, or connect anything yet)
3- Turn on your PC. (if you didn't disconnect or connect anything else Windows should start normally)
4- Go to asus website and download the latest driver. (Throw CD from the window)
5- Install the driver, and restart when required. make sure you install both sata and USB controllers before you restart.
6- After installing all the drivers you need, turn off the PC , unplug power cable, open up the case.
7- connect your SSD/HDD containing the Operating system to the SATA1 port on the add-on card. (Mobo will recognize it as SATA0, so don't worry about the sata connected in SATA1 on motherboard chip.
8- turn on your PC, and get into Bios.
9- Look for "Storage Configuration" and change the first drive's name to the OS drive.
10- Go to the boot screen on BIOS and make that drive your first priority.
11- Save and exit, log in windows everything should work now. :)
