PCIe USB 3.0 Expansion Card
This PCIe expansion card adds seven USB 3.0 Type-A ports to a desktop system through a single PCIe 3.0 slot. It fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and draws power directly from the bus. The card targets users who need many simultaneous USB connections without occupying external hubs.
Bandwidth sharing across two controllers
Three ports share one 5 Gbps channel and the remaining four ports share a second 5 Gbps channel, giving a combined ceiling of 10 Gbps. A single device can reach 5 Gbps when it is the only active port on its controller. Real-world throughput depends on the connected device and total simultaneous load.
Driver and OS requirements
Windows 10, 11 and Linux work without extra drivers; Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Vista, XP and Server editions need a driver install. Mac OS 10.8.2 and later are supported natively. The card supplies up to 5 W per Type-A port and includes short-circuit protection on every port.

Questions about this item
Will this card fit in the PCIe x1 slot on my older motherboard?
Yes, the card is upward compatible with x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots, so it will work in an x1 slot.
How can I verify the 10Gbps total bandwidth is active after installing the card?
Check Device Manager to confirm the card appears as a USB 3.0 host controller, then run a file transfer test; three ports share one 5Gbps channel and four share the other.
Does the box include a driver CD and are cables or external power adapters needed?
A driver CD is included for Windows 7, XP, Vista and Server; Windows 10, 11, Mac OS 10.8.2+ and Linux need no driver. The card draws power from the PCIe slot, so no external power adapter is required.
