  • Add seven USB 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Transfer data at up to 5 Gbps with USB 3.0, compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices
  • Operate all ports without an external power supply using the onboard 2-phase power modules
  • Each port has a dedicated solid capacitor for stable 5 V 2 A power delivery
  • Built on NEC 720201 and 720210 controllers for reliable performance

PCIe x1 to 7 Ports USB 3.0 Card

The EN-Labs expansion card adds seven external USB 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot. It is compatible with PCIe x2, x4, x8 and x16 slots and includes a full-profile bracket for standard desktop mounting. The board uses NEC720201 and NEC720210 controller chips to manage connectivity.

Desktop users needing more USB 3.0 ports

This card suits PC builders who require additional high-speed ports for external hard drives, optical drives, printers, scanners or webcams. It operates without an auxiliary power connector thanks to its two onboard power modules. Buyers using PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 consoles should look elsewhere as the card is not compatible with those platforms.

Seven independent ports with 5 Gbps speed

Each of the seven ports delivers up to 5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Every port has its own solid capacitor to maintain stable voltage and independent power delivery of 5V 2A. The 2-phase power design allows all ports to run simultaneously without external power.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the card is running at 5Gbps after installing it in a PCIe x1 slot?

Open Device Manager, locate the NEC720201 or NEC720210 controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and confirm the port speed shows SuperSpeed USB 3.0.

What accessories come in the box and which power cables must I supply?

The card ships with a full-profile PCI slot cover; no auxiliary power cables are required because the two onboard power modules draw from the slot.

Should I choose this 7-port version or a smaller card for a single external SSD?

Select this 7-port model only if you need seven independent 5V2A ports with dedicated solid capacitors; a smaller card suits fewer devices.
