Green PCIe x1 card with one USB-C and one USB-A port plus internal 19-pin header

Vszerda

Vszerda PCI-E x1 to USB 3.1 2-Port Type-C + Type-A Card

SKU CH-0BZX-18YP0

Adds one USB-C and one USB-A port at 5 Gbps through a PCIe x1 slot using a uPD720201 controller

  • Adds two USB 3.1 ports with a single PCI-E x1 slot
  • uPD720201 controller delivers 5 Gbps transfer speed
  • Includes 19-pin header for front-panel USB 3.0 expansion
  • Works with Windows XP through 10 and Linux
  • Dual-chip design reduces power consumption during operation

Expansion for front-panel USB-C

The Vszerda PCI-E x1 card adds one USB 3.1 Type-C and one Type-A port to a desktop computer. It connects through a standard PCI Express x1 slot and includes a 19-pin header for the case front panel. The dual-chip uPD720201 plus GL35XX controller handles 5 Gbps data rates on both ports.

Suits owners of older motherboards

Builders who want front-panel USB-C without replacing the board can install this card in any free x1 slot. It works with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Linux. Buyers who need more than two extra ports or who lack an open PCI Express slot should consider a different solution.

Single x1 lane limits total bandwidth

The card negotiates at PCI Express x1, so the combined throughput of both ports cannot exceed that single lane. If your workload demands sustained transfers near the controller maximum across both ports simultaneously, the bus becomes the bottleneck.

Questions about this item

Will the uPD720201 controller chip need a driver update or replacement down the line?

The uPD720201 chip is supported natively by Windows XP through Windows 10 and Linux, so no separate driver updates are required for those systems.

What bandwidth ceiling will I hit first when both ports run at full speed?

The card uses a PCI‑Express x1 link limited to 5 Gbps, so that bus bandwidth is the bottleneck before either USB 3.1 port saturates.

How much heat or extra power draw appears when the card runs all day?

The dual‑chip uPD720201 plus GL35XX design is described as greatly reducing power consumption, keeping heat and draw low during continuous operation.
