  • Driver-free on Windows 10 and 11
  • Adds 20 Gbps USB Type-E front port
  • Converts PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot
  • Uses ASM3242 controller for 20 Gbit/s
  • Data-only port — no video, audio or PD

Add a 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E Front Panel Port

This compact PCIe 4X adapter adds a single USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E socket to a desktop front panel. It uses the ASM3242 chipset to deliver up to 20Gbps data transfer for external SSDs or HDDs. The card plugs directly into a PCIe 4X, 8X or 16X slot and needs no extra driver on Windows 10 or 11.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

It suits builders who want a high-speed front-panel USB Type-E connection for fast external storage. It is not for users needing USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort Alt Mode, audio or video output, or docking functionality. The port handles data only, so buyers wanting to charge devices or drive a monitor from this socket should choose a different solution.

The deciding specification

The card provides one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E port running at 20Gbps via the ASM3242 controller. This single port is the only I/O added by the adapter. If your build requires multiple Type-E ports, additional USB-A connectors, or any alternate-mode support, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the LORDWORLD adapter include the internal cable to connect the Type-E port to my motherboard, or must I buy it separately?

The product is supplied as the PCI-E 4X card with the Type-E front-panel socket already mounted; no separate internal cable is included or required.

Should I choose this 20Gbps Type-E model or a slower 10Gbps version for my external SSD enclosure?

Pick this 20Gbps model when your enclosure and drive support USB 3.2 Gen2 20Gbps; otherwise a 10Gbps card will not saturate the faster drive.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 20Gbps rating once the card is installed in a PCI-E 4X slot?

The ASM3242 controller delivers up to 20Gbit/s over the Type-E port, limited only by the attached SSD or HDD and the PCI-E 4X host bandwidth.
