USB 3.0 PCI-E adapter with 19-pin header

This USB 3.0 PCI-E expansion card adds two internal USB 3.0 ports through a 19-pin motherboard header. It fits any PCI-E x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and is aimed at builders who need front-panel USB 3.0 connectivity on a board that lacks a native header.

Sustained 5 Gbps transfer rate over PCI-E x1

The card runs on a PCI-E x1 bus and supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps. Because the bus is limited to a single lane, throughput stays consistent during long file moves rather than peaking only in short bursts. Windows 8 and 10 load the driver automatically, so the link remains stable without extra software.

Simple plug-in install; check header keying first

Installation requires an open PCI-E slot and a free 19-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. The card seats with normal insertion force and needs no external power. The most common issue is mismatched header pin-outs — verify the motherboard manual before connecting the cable.

Questions about this item

How much power does the PCI-E x1 slot supply to the card when it runs all day?

The card draws its power from a single PCI-E x1 slot, which is rated for up to 10 watts under the PCI Express specification.

Which motherboard header must be free for the internal USB 3.0 connection?

A 19-pin USB 3.0 front-panel header on the motherboard is required to connect the card’s internal cable.

Will the card work in a PCI-E x16 slot on an older motherboard?

Yes, the adapter is compatible with PCI-E x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots, so it fits older boards that have a larger slot available.
