## Questions & Answers

**Q: If i use it to connect a 4 port pci-e x4 usb 3.0 card adapter w/ 4 dedicated 5gbps channels w/sata  power will i have separate channels and speed?**
A: This adapter will take a 16x pcie device down to a single X1 pcie. Basically any pcie device used with this adapter will be reduce to a single pcie channel. Basically if the device even works, it will be at a reduced speed. I hope that all makes sense.

**Q: can this be used for a gaming laptop?**
A: No. There isn't enough room in a laptop for the board.

**Q: Would this fit Into a Dell optiplex 745 desktop**
A: The StarTech.com PCIe X1 to PCIe X16 will fit in any desktop computer with an available PCIe X1 slot; however, be  aware that if you have a graphics card that has a big cooling shroud, I would recommend to move the graphics card to another PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. In addition, I would keep in mind that this adopter is about 1inch high and installing any card in it, could be a bit taller for some cards.

**Q: Will a low-profile slot bracket fit as if it was a full height bracket with this adapter?**
A: Yes

*by T***M on 1 June 2015*

A sound piece of kit. Unfortunately the combined depth of my X16 low profile graphics card and this X1 adapter meant it wouldn't fit in my tower. The low cost of this adapter made it worth the gamble!
