Have a TC-875, D17E5. Anything other than the card needed?  Looking at a StarTech PEXUSB357.  Any thoughts or warnings?
Thanks,
Hoglou

    Yes, you can put that in your PCIe x1 slot. You will need some sort of extension or adapter cable to bring a SATA power line to it though. The SATA power on your machine comes off the motherboard, not off the power supply, and there are cables needed for that. What type of drives do you have installed now? Do you know if the existing cables provide a single power output or double? (A lot depends on ODD or HDD being there). Here's the layout of your motherboard:
    The connectors for SATA power are the ones marked #6. Those connectors support power for two drives each, and the USB card needs to act as if it were one of those drives.
