Five USB 3.2 ports via PCIe x1

This ESTONE expansion card adds five SuperSpeed USB 3.2 ports to a desktop computer through a single PCI Express x1 lane. Three ports use the USB-C connector and two use the traditional USB-A connector, each capable of up to 10 Gbps data throughput. The card draws power directly from the slot and includes a driver CD for older operating systems. It fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 socket on motherboards compliant with PCIe 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0.

Desktop owners needing more high-speed ports

The card suits builders who have a free PCIe slot and want to connect multiple USB-C and USB-A peripherals such as external drives, cameras or input devices at 10 Gbps. It is not suited for systems that lack an available PCI Express slot or for users who require USB Power Delivery charging or video output from the USB-C ports. Laptop users and small-form-factor PCs without internal expansion capability cannot use this adapter.

Requires PCIe x1 slot and driver for Windows 7

The single specification that decides fitment is the presence of a PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot on the motherboard. Windows 10, 11, macOS 10.8.2 and newer, and modern Linux distributions operate without extra drivers, while Windows 7 needs the supplied RENESAS/VLI driver installed before the ports become active.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the driver disc and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package ships with the PCIe card, a driver CD, installation screws and a user manual — no extra parts are required.

Should I choose the three USB-C and two USB-A layout or a different port mix?

This model only comes in the 3C/2A configuration; there is no alternative port mix to select.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when I plug in a hard drive?

The 10 Gbps ceiling is the interface maximum; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the drive and PCIe lane version.
