This is a low profile PCIe expansion card that adds four USB 3.0 ports to a computer. It is designed for users who need additional high-speed USB connectivity without taking up much space inside the computer case. The card supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0, which offers faster data transfer rates compared to older USB versions. It is compatible with most modern desktop PCs that have a PCIe slot and can be used for connecting external storage devices, peripherals, or other USB 3.0 compatible hardware.
The card uses a SATA power connector for power, which means it requires a SATA power cable from the power supply to function. This makes it suitable for systems that have available SATA power connections. It is ideal for users who need to expand their USB ports for devices like external hard drives, flash drives, or high-speed peripherals. The low profile design ensures it fits into smaller computer cases or systems with limited space for full-height expansion cards.
Installation involves inserting the card into an available PCIe slot and connecting the SATA power cable. No additional drivers are typically required as it uses standard USB 3.0 controllers. The card is well-suited for both personal and professional use cases, such as media editing, data backup, or gaming where multiple high-speed devices are needed simultaneously.
