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. This card is ideal for users who need high-speed data transfer and want to avoid performance bottlenecks when using multiple USB devices simultaneously. Each port has its own dedicated controller, ensuring that each device can operate at full 5Gbps speed without interference from other connected devices.
The card features four independent USB controllers, which means each port can handle data transfers independently. This is especially useful for tasks like transferring large files or editing high-resolution videos on external storage devices. The total bandwidth available is effectively quadrupled to 20Gbps, making it a powerful upgrade for users who require fast and reliable USB performance.
The horizontal design of the USB ports improves compatibility with various computer cases and reduces the risk of port clearance issues. This makes it easier to connect a wide range of USB devices and cables without worrying about physical obstructions. Additionally, the card includes SATA and LP4 power connectors, which provide extra power to the USB ports when the motherboard's power supply is insufficient.
Installation is straightforward, as the drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later versions, as well as Linux. The card is compatible with both Intel and AMD hardware platforms that have a PCI Express 2.0 (or higher) x4, x8, or x16 slot. It supports the Battery Charging 1.2 specification, providing up to 5V 2A (10W) per port for charging devices efficiently.
