Four independent USB Type-C ports

The HighPoint RocketU 1244C is a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 controller that adds four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports to a desktop or server. Each port delivers up to 10Gb/s with a dedicated host controller path and 1.5A power output. The card supports bootable drives on Linux and Mac, and includes a 6-pin PCIe power connector for external device power.

Suits high-speed capture and multi-device workflows

This card suits users who need simultaneous, full-bandwidth connections for storage arrays, cameras or acquisition hardware on Windows 7 through 10, Windows Server 2008 to 2019, Linux kernel 3.10.0+ or macOS 10.12.6+ on Mac Pro 5,1 or 7,1. It does not suit builds without a PCIe x8 slot or systems that require internal header connections instead of rear-panel Type-C ports.

Four ports at 10Gb/s each with 7.5W power

Each of the four ports handles USB 1.x, 2.0 and 3.x devices at up to 10Gb/s without sharing bandwidth, providing up to 7.5W per port for bus-powered peripherals or charging. Total concurrent throughput is limited by the PCIe 3.0 x8 host link, so sustained aggregate transfers across all four ports may saturate the bus before individual port limits are reached.

Highlights

  • Four independent USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports each deliver up to 10Gb/s bandwidth
  • Dedicated per-port controllers give every device its own data path and power delivery
  • xHCI compliance enables driverless installation on Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Low-profile form factor fits compact servers and workstations
  • External 6-pin PCIe power connector supports bus-powered peripherals up to 7.5W per port

Questions about this item

My motherboard only has PCIe 3.0 x4 slots — will the RU1244C still give me four 10 Gb/s USB ports?

The card needs a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot to deliver up to 10 Gb/s per port; in an x4 slot bandwidth is halved so each port tops out lower.

I still use USB 2.0 hard drives — can I plug them straight into the four Type-C ports?

Yes, each port is backward compatible with USB 1.x and 2.0 devices, so older drives work without adapters.

After installing the card, how do I confirm every port is running at 10 Gb/s?

Connect a USB 3.2 Gen 2 device to each port and verify the OS reports a 10 Gb/s link speed for all four.
