Good But!
I bought 2 of these inside my computer because I was building a NAS using FreeNAS and I can confirm it works in FreeNAS and Windows. However the description states that this is SATA 3 which is 6Gb/s. Well this is not true because it being a PCI E X1 the maximum bandwidth on this is 5Gb/s. So this part is a lie.
Also if you had 4 SSD's on one of these PCI it would spread all 4 SSDs to across the PCI dividing 5Gb/s by 4, you would be 1.25Gb/s each drive, however this is based on all 4 drives reading and writing all at the same time which doesn't always happen.
When booting these PCI cards load before I can even get into BIOS. They don't show in bios obviously but they show in DOS ready for FreeNAS, no drivers were needed these are plug and play.
To get maximum performance and you had the room I would get 4x PCIE-2 ports. This would give you maximum performance.
However being on a FreeNAS at 1Gb/s it doesn't really matter with the speed. Unless you are copying one set of hard drives to another set on the machine itself.
This is a cheap option to get sata ports and it works... Would recommend.

Indoor use only!
I bought this because it looked cool. It states it can go outside but unpacking one, I don't think so for a few reasons.
1. The wind blows and the glass would smash extremely easy.
2. Its made of wood, wood rots in time.
3. Wire that links to the chain easy for water to go through, not IP rated I tested.
4. The connection to the mains, it has 1 wire that comes out of a small hole, which you would think to join it but even though you are not allowed any electric joins outside, there is no place to do so. You cannot even fit a connector block on the inside light, or the hole in the brick cannot house one and the cable is not long enough to have on the inside.
I tried to get the electrician to fit and he said "you got to be joking, I can fit it but I cannot sign it off"
I lost out on this product, I had to buy an IP rated light from my electrician which is working now.
For this reason this product should not be installed outside, inside would work because no wind, no water, and a join could be hidden in the plasterboard.
