  • Adds seven USB 3.0 type A ports via a single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot
  • Delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speed on each connected device
  • Works with USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 peripherals without extra drivers
  • Draws power directly from the motherboard, no external connector required
  • Supplies 900 mA per port for reliable operation of high-draw accessories

Seven-port USB 3.0 expansion card

This Fervit adapter adds seven USB 3.0 Type-A ports to a desktop computer through a single PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot. It delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth per port and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices. The card targets users who need more high-speed ports for peripherals such as external drives, scanners or printers. No external power connector is required for operation.

Check driver and operating-system support

Before installing, verify that your system runs Windows 7, 8 or 10 in either 32-bit or 64-bit editions, as these are the only listed compatible platforms. You must install the RENESAS or VLI USB 3.0 driver before the card will function correctly. An available PCI Express 2.0 x1 lane is also necessary; confirm your motherboard has a free slot of that type. The card draws power directly from the slot, so no extra power cables are needed.

Each port supplies 900 mA at 5 V

The seven ports each provide up to 900 mA at 5 V, which is sufficient for most bus-powered USB 3.0 devices without an external supply. This per-port current limit means very high-draw peripherals may still require their own adapters. The bundled requirement to install the RENESAS/VLI driver is a software step, not a hardware accessory, and enables full 5 Gbps operation on supported Windows versions. No additional cables or mounting hardware are mentioned in the specifications.

Questions about this item

Does the card come with the RENESAS/VLI driver disc or must I download it separately?

The manufacturer states you need to install the RENESAS/VLI USB 3.0 driver first. No disc is mentioned in the specifications, so plan to download the driver from the chipset vendor's site before installation.

Should I choose a version with an external power connector or the one that draws power from the slot?

This model requires no extra power connector; it draws power from the PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot and delivers 5 V at 900 mA per port. If your devices need more current per port, a card with auxiliary power would be the alternative.

Will I see the full 5 Gbps on all seven ports at once in a real PC?

The card links through a single PCI Express 2.0 x1 lane, which caps total bandwidth at 5 Gbps shared across all seven ports. Simultaneous transfers on multiple ports will divide that throughput.
