worked perfectly, right out of the box
Last month I bought a new desktop, and I wanted to use my eSATA 1TB external with it (yes, I am related to the dinosaurs). I'm really glad I bought this card. It worked perfectly right out of the box, and installation was a snap. Best hardware upgrade I ever did myself. For reference I'm running Windows 8.1 on an Asus desktop with an Intel quad core processor.
