Legacy desktop USB expansion

This SMUGDESK 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI Expansion Card adds five USB 2.0 ports to a desktop computer through a standard PCI slot. It provides a maximum 480Mbps transfer rate for data files and peripheral connections. The card targets older systems that lack sufficient built-in USB interfaces for daily tasks.

Suits PCI-slot motherboards only

It suits owners of legacy desktops or industrial hosts with a free standard PCI slot who need more ports for flash drives, keyboards, mice, printers or external hard drives. It does not suit builders whose motherboards only have PCIe slots, nor users who require the higher bandwidth of newer USB standards.

Standard PCI slot interface

The single specification that decides fitment is the standard PCI slot interface on the motherboard. The card cannot be installed in PCIe, PCI-X or laptop expansion slots. Verify an available legacy PCI slot before purchase.
