SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK AB01 PCIe X4 USB 3.2 Gen2 8-Port USB Converter

SKU CH-CVDC-9NS0N

Adds eight 10 Gbps USB ports — four Type-A and four Type-C — through a single PCIe x4 slot for simultaneous high-speed peripherals

  • PCIe X4 slot removes bandwidth bottleneck for 10 Gbps per port
  • Eight mixed ports — four USB-A and four USB-C — connect drives, cameras and phones together
  • UASP acceleration speeds large 4K and raw file transfers
  • Works with Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Linux; plug-and-play into X4, X8 or X16 slot
  • Independent over-current and short-circuit protection on each port for continuous workstation use

Expansion card for high-speed peripherals

This PCIe X4 expansion card adds eight USB 3.2 Gen2 ports to a desktop computer. Four USB-A and four USB-C connectors each deliver up to 10Gbps bandwidth. It suits content creators and workstation users who connect multiple NVMe drives, cameras or docks simultaneously.

Sustained throughput with UASP acceleration

The X4 slot design removes the bandwidth ceiling found on X1 cards, letting all eight ports run at full speed together. An onboard controller with UASP protocol accelerates large 4K footage and raw file transfers during long sessions. Backward compatibility covers USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices without extra configuration.

Industrial PCB with per-port protection

A durable circuit board carries independent over-current and short-circuit safeguards for every port. The card installs in any vacant PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slot on ATX or MATX motherboards. Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Linux systems recognise it immediately with no driver installation required.

Questions about this item

Does the AB01 run hot or draw extra power when all eight ports are active all day?

The onboard over-current and short-circuit protection circuit manages power per port, and the industrial PCB is designed for long-time continuous running on workstations and NAS hosts.

What slot and operating system must my desktop already have for this card to work?

A vacant PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slot on an ATX or MATX mainboard, plus Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 or Linux for plug-and-play operation.

Will my older USB 2.0 flash drives and 5 Gbps external SSD work at full speed on the AB01's mixed USB-A and USB-C ports?

Yes, the controller is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1 at 5 Gbps, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, so legacy devices operate at their rated speeds on every port.
