Laptop Samsung R525 Allegro

I ordered this Allegro USB 3.1-C type card because my PC was damaged during a no-warning fire safety power shut-off back in October here in California which caused a surge straight through my APC backup/surge protector. This resulted in a damaged front audio and USB port unit through the main switch to my computer case which connects directly to the motherboard. Therefore all the USB ports on the front of the case and on the back I/O of the motherboard became non-functional. This card, attached to the motherboard, bypasses the USB-C port on the back so that I can temporarily use it for USB-C connections until a new USB/audio/switch unit arrives from Germany for my Be Quiet! 800 case. Fortunately, it is still under warranty, and Be Quiet! offered to replace the unit free of charge. However, the Allegro card only works in PCI-E 3.0 or higher slots. It will NOT fit in PCI-E 16 express (the interface is too wide). I tried it in a PCI-E 2.0 slot and it will not function in it at all. Be sure that you have the right configuration or it will not work. It has two USB-C ports. Therefore, with the right cables, I am also able to route it to a four-port hub for other USB input needs such as thumb drives. This adapter is similar in writing speed to the original USB-C port on the I/O from the motherboard. This, with a four port USB 3.0 card connected to the PCI-E express gives me enough latitude to plug in all of my peripherals until final repairs are made. When that happens I will use it in another older PC build which does not have USB-C capability. I have tried it in that PC and it works very well and fast.

Complimenting products like the Allegro 4-port USB card in older Mac pro's, these cables rock. They plug into newer dual-port drives featuring USB 3.x plusThunderbolt to create a versatile storage or live-edit solution.

I always choose samsung ssd's for upgrades for the speed, quality & price even on lower end laptop upgrades.

Connected a Levono laptop to a Samsung monitor and it worked perfectly. Buy one!

I got it for my laptop which has 2 SSD slots, It's very fast and even my other SSD is a Samsung one, never faced any problems with SSD

Not sure why I didn't do this before, but I kept running out of space on my laptop. Upgrading was simple and fast using Samsung's migration tool.. The Samsung SSD I replaced with this worked flawlessly so I hope this one does too.. So far so good!!

MY LAPTOP IS WAY FASTER TAHN IT WAS BFORE, THANKS SAMSUNG.

Great storage addition in my personal laptop. I've had much success with Samsung's storage solutions.

I bought it to upgrade our Samsung laptop. It fits and I was able to install Windows 10 with no problems.

Absolutely love being able to use the drive on my Samsung laptop and my Z flip5. It's really convenient and easy to use! Bought one for my mom as well!
