This is a PCIe expansion card designed to add two USB 3.0 ports to a computer that lacks sufficient USB connectivity. It is ideal for users who need to connect multiple high-speed devices such as external hard drives, flash drives, or peripherals that require faster data transfer rates. The card supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0, which offers significantly higher transfer speeds compared to USB 2.0, making it suitable for data-intensive tasks like video editing or large file transfers. It also includes UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support, which further enhances performance by reducing latency and improving data throughput.
The card is compatible with PCI Express slots on desktop computers, making it a good option for users looking to upgrade their system's connectivity without replacing the motherboard. It requires a SATA power connector, which is typically available on most modern motherboards. This ensures that the card can be powered without needing an additional power supply. The design is compact and built for reliability, fitting into standard PCIe slots and minimizing space usage inside the computer case.
Installation involves inserting the card into an available PCIe slot and connecting the SATA power cable. No additional drivers are required as it works with most operating systems, including Windows and Linux. The package includes the PCIe card itself, a SATA power cable, and necessary documentation for setup. Users should ensure they have an available PCIe slot and SATA power connection before purchasing to avoid compatibility issues.
This card is particularly useful for users who need extra USB ports for external storage devices or high-speed peripherals. It can also be used in workstations or servers where additional connectivity is needed without the need for a front panel USB header. However, it is not suitable for laptops or systems without a PCIe slot or SATA power connector.
