Add four 5Gbps USB Type-A ports through via PCI Express

Upgrade or expand the USB connectivity of a desktop computer or server by adding four independent USB Type-A 5Gbps ports over a single PCI Express 2.0 x4 connection.

Dedicated USB 5Gbps Per Port

When multiple devices are connected, traditional single-bus USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards share the maximum bandwidth across all ports. By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on its own independent channel, providing up to 5Gbps to each USB port, reducing performance bottlenecks and effectively quadrupling the total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.

Charge USB Devices

This USB PCIe expansion card can receive supplemental power through SATA or LP4 connectors. It supports the Battery Charging 1.2 (5V 1.5A) specification and provides up to 5V 2A (10W) on the USB Type-A ports when the bus power from the motherboard is insufficient.

Compatibility

The PCI Express USB card drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. The expansion card supports hardware platforms such as Intel, AMD, and Apple Silicon and fits in PCI Express x4, x8, and x16 slots. Horizontal USB ports enhance compatibility with different computer cases, reduce the risk of port clearance issues, and accommodate a wider range of USB devices and cables.

The StarTech.com Advantage
The Eaton Relay Card-MS enables automatic shutdown and network monitoring of UPS system status through a connected computer with a dedicated adapter that provides the essential dry-contact interface between an Eaton UPS and any relay-connected computer as well as a variety of industrial applications. The Relay Card-MS is compatible with all Eaton UPSs that have a Minislot.
This Mini-SAS adapter lets you convert two internal SFF-8643 ports on a controller card into two external SFF-8644 ports. This enables you to connect external SAS or SATA drives in devices such as a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) device to an internal backplane or SAS controller for additional storage.

The adapter can connect up to eight drives in total and is compatible with 12Gbps SAS drives as well as 6Gbps SATA drives. For a hassle-free installation, you can mount the adapter into any new or legacy desktop expansion slot, including: PCI, AGP, and PCIe. To ensure compatibility with most computer cases, full-profile and low-profile mounting brackets are included.

The SFF86448PLT2 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Add four USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) ports with four independent channels, LP/SATA power, and charging support to your PC through a PCI Express slot

The PEXUSB3S44V 4-Port PCI Express USB 3.2 Gen 1 Card lets you add four, dedicated 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports to your PCIe x4-enabled PC. This independent port architecture improves USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance by transferring data on four individual channels to your computer, giving you faster file transfers.

When multiple devices are connected, traditional single bus USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards share your maximum bandwidth between all ports. By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on a separate independent transmission channel. Dedicating up to 5 Gbps to each USB port reduces performance bottlenecks, and effectively quadruples your total available to bandwidth to 20 Gbps.

Enhanced with UASP support (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB 3.2 Gen 1 controller performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.2 Gen 1 when paired with a UASP supported enclosure (Note: UASP requires a compatible operating system). Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP technology optimizes transfers by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously, significantly increasing transfer speeds for less wait time on data transfers. See our UASP test results below for further details.

For high-power USB devices, this PCIe USB 3.2 Gen 1 card includes an optional SATA or LP4 power connector to connect to your system power supply and deliver up to 900mA of power per port to USB 3.2 Gen 1 bus-powered devices (500mA for USB 2.0). The USB 3.2 Gen 1 card also supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (Apple Mode only), letting you charge compatible Apple devices (iPhones and iPads) faster than a standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.

The controller card is compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 1 standards while offering backward compatibility with existing USB 2.0 / 1.1 devices. For added versatility, the USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe card is equipped with a standard profile bracket and includes a low-profile/half-height bracket for installation in small form-factor computers.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Improved Performance with UASP

UASP is supported in Windows® 8, 8.1, Server 2012 and Linux kernel 2.6.37 or later. In testing UASP performed with up to a 70% faster read / 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.2 Gen 1 at peak performance.

At the same peak in testing, UASP also showed up to an 80% reduction in required processor resources.

Test results were obtained using an Intel® Ivy Bridge system, StarTech.com add-on USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards, a UASP-enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a SATA III solid state drive.
