Four-Port USB 3.0 Expansion Card for PCIe x1 Slots

This PCIe x1 add-in card adds four external USB 3.0 ports to a desktop system. It fits both low-profile and standard brackets for flexible installation. The card targets users who need more SuperSpeed connections for peripherals or external drives. A NEC USB 3.0 driver must be installed before use.

Low-Profile Bracket and Dual Power Options

The 9.5 mm low-profile bracket is included alongside a standard bracket for different chassis types. Power is drawn from either a SATA or IDE power connector inside the case. Each port delivers up to 900 mA at 5 V for connected devices. Backward compatibility covers USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 equipment.

5 Gbps Throughput on a Single Gen2 Lane

The card operates over a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 link to provide a 5 Gbps maximum data rate per port. Actual transfer speeds also include 1.5 Mbps, 12 Mbps and 480 Mbps modes for legacy devices. Supported operating systems are Windows 7, 8 and 10 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Bandwidth is shared across all four ports.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the PCIe x1 Gen2 interface cap the four USB 3.0 ports at?

The x1 Gen2 link limits total bandwidth to 5 Gbps, so all four ports share that 5000 Mbps ceiling rather than each reaching it independently.

Which brackets and power connectors must the case and PSU provide for this card?

A 9.5 mm low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket are included; the card draws auxiliary power from either a SATA or an IDE power connector.

What driver step is required before the card works in Windows 7, 8 or 10?

Install the NEC USB 3.0 driver supplied by the manufacturer before inserting the card; without it the ports will not enumerate at SuperSpeed.
