Expand USB Connectivity Instantly
Add four fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports to your desktop or server via a PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface. This expansion card is designed to enhance your system’s USB capabilities efficiently with a single card installation.
Dedicated Controllers for Each Port
Unlike traditional USB cards that share bandwidth across ports, this StarTech card uses four host controller chipsets. Each USB port functions independently at full 5Gbps speed, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing total throughput up to 20Gbps.
Reliable Power for Charging
Supplemental SATA or LP4 power connectors allow the card to provide up to 5V 2A (10W) per USB port under Battery Charging 1.2 standards. This ensures connected devices receive stable charging when motherboard power is limited.
Wide Compatibility Across Platforms
Supports major Windows versions including 7, 8, 10, and 11 as well as Linux. Compatible with both Intel and AMD hardware platforms and fits PCIe x4, x8, and x16 slots. The horizontally oriented ports reduce clearance issues in various computer cases.
