  • Each port delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speed

Seven-port USB 3.0 expansion

This PCIe x1 card adds seven USB 3.0 ports to a desktop computer. It is suited for users who need to connect several external drives, peripherals or charging devices at the same time. The on-board VIA controller handles the traffic while the slot supplies the necessary power.

Check slot and operating system

Verify that your motherboard has a free PCI Express x1 slot compatible with the 2.0 standard. The supplied driver CD supports Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 in both 32 and 64 bit editions as well as Linux. No auxiliary power connector is required because the card draws power from the slot and its two on-board modules.

Dual power modules and standard bracket

Two integrated power modules allow each port to deliver up to 5 V 2 A without an external adapter. The card uses a standard PCI bracket so it fits typical desktop chassis. Seven Type-A ports are arranged in a single row for straightforward cable management.
