[lowredfred]

Hi,

I was looking for a usb expansion card and i was going to buy this one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07PX2SGRM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2M6QN24WECR3P&psc=1

but i dont need the type-c and this one: 

https://www.amazon.ca/Expansion-Adapter-Controller-Windows-Include/dp/B0717BK791/ref=pd_sbs_147_2/145-3731742-0675510?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0717BK791&pd_rd_r=07e6e100-7885-4404-884a-7066af3bbed3&pd_rd_w=gsiNP&pd_rd_wg=uu1wO&pf_rd_p=f7748194-d8e0-4460-84c0-2789668108bc&pf_rd_r=KN0H16YMW1XBCMN0F6PW&psc=1&refRID=KN0H16YMW1XBCMN0F6PW 

has more ports for a lower price 

 

it kinda looks like a scam to me but i could use a second opinion or recommendations on another usb expansion card

I've never heard of the brand and if you look at the reviews, it evidently has a very awkward power connector that caused people trouble.

why looks like a scam?

 

orico is a well known brand

 

i personally would go for the first one because it has the type c, 4 usb 3 and a internal usb3 header
