  • Add four USB 3.0 ports from one PCIe slot
  • Stable power for high-draw devices via SATA connector
  • 5 Gbps transfer speed cuts large-file backup time
  • Works in x1 through x16 slots on Windows 7 to 11 and Linux

Mixed USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C ports

This SMUGDESK PCIe expansion card adds four USB 3.0 ports to a desktop computer. Three are standard Type-A and one is Type-C, allowing simultaneous connection of SSDs, flash drives, phones and peripherals. The card fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and draws auxiliary power through a 15-pin SATA connector for stable operation with high-draw devices.

Desktop owners needing more external USB ports

The card suits users who have a free PCIe slot and want extra front-accessible USB 3.0 ports without opening the case again. It supports Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP and mainstream Linux distributions with plug-and-play setup. Buyers who need internal USB headers or more than four ports should consider other solutions.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 transfer speed

USB 3.0 Gen 1 delivers up to 5 Gbps throughput, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This bandwidth reduces backup time for large videos, RAW photos and bulk file transfers. Built-in overcurrent and short-circuit protection plus a sturdy metal bracket help prevent port damage during sustained use.
