I have purchased the above card and it shows in the device manager as a hub I have an ASUS Z170 motherboard with a Intel64\_Family\_6\_Model\_94\_-\_Intel(R)\_Core™_i7-6700K\_CPU_@\_4.00GHz

I have attached an image of what is shown under USB in device manager

when I plug a drive in to the StarTech PEXUSB3S42V 4 port USB3 PCIe card - nothing

I have tried different PCIe slots to no avail, Any Ideas please?
