  • Driver-free on Windows 10 and 11
  • Converts PCIe 4x 8x 16x to USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E 20Gbps
  • ASM3242 chipset delivers up to 20Gbit/s data

USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E front-panel adapter

This Vszerda adapter adds a single USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E port to a desktop front panel by using an available PCI Express x4, x8 or x16 slot. The on-board ASM3242 controller delivers up to 20 Gbit/s of data bandwidth for connected SSDs or HDDs. No extra driver is required for Windows 10 or Windows 11 installations.

Builders adding high-speed front USB storage

The card suits system builders who want a 20 Gbit/s Type-E header for external drive bays or front-panel cabling. It does not carry audio, video, docking, Power Delivery or DisplayPort Alt Mode signals, so it cannot drive monitors, docks or charge devices. Buyers needing those functions should look at a different interface.

ASM3242 chipset with 20 Gbit/s limit

The ASM3242 controller sets a hard ceiling of 20 Gbit/s for USB data traffic. Any drive or enclosure plugged into the Type-E header will be constrained to this throughput regardless of its own rated speed. Verify that your workload fits within this bandwidth before purchasing.
