USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe Card with 4 Ports - 10Gbps Speed, 2 Controllers - Works on Windows, Mac, Linux

This is a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe expansion card designed to add four SuperSpeed USB-A ports to a desktop computer. It uses dual ASMedia ASM3142 controllers to deliver up to 10 Gbps per port and a combined 20 Gbps across all four ports. The card is ideal for connecting high-performance storage devices like SSDs, NVMe drives, and external hard drives, as well as mobile devices that require fast data transfer and charging. It supports USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) for improved performance with storage devices and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The card features a SATA power header that can provide supplemental power to the USB ports if the motherboard's power supply is insufficient. Each USB-A port can supply up to 4.5W (5V@0.9A) of power, making it suitable for powering and charging devices like smartphones and tablets. The card installs into a standard full-profile PCIe 2.0 x4 slot and includes a full-profile bracket for compatibility with most desktop cases. It is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) devices, ensuring wide compatibility with existing peripherals.

The card supports Multiple INs for reduced bandwidth loss when multiple devices are connected, even through a USB hub (the hub must also support this feature). It is designed for IT professionals and users who need reliable, high-speed connectivity for storage and peripheral devices. The card comes with a lifetime warranty and free 24/5 technical support from StarTech.com, ensuring long-term reliability and assistance with installation or troubleshooting.

The card is compact in size, measuring approximately 4.7 inches in length, and weighs around 4.4 ounces. It is built with durable materials suitable for desktop environments and operates within a temperature range of 5°C to 50°C. The included quick-start guide provides instructions for installation and setup, making it easy to integrate into existing systems.
