Fervit 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E Adapter

This Fervit adapter adds a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-E front-panel port to a desktop system. It connects through an available PCI-E 4X, 8X or 16X slot on the motherboard. The onboard ASM3242 chipset delivers up to 20Gbps data throughput for external SSDs or HDDs. No extra driver is required for Windows 10 or Windows 11 installations.

Upgrade from slower front-panel USB ports

The card replaces legacy front-panel headers that are limited to 5Gbps or 10Gbps speeds. The jump is worth it when you regularly move large datasets to external storage and need the full 20Gbps bandwidth. It does not carry audio, video, DisplayPort alt-mode or power-delivery signals, so it cannot drive docks or monitors. Buyers who need those functions should look elsewhere.

Fits a spare PCI-E slot and frees rear I/O

The compact bracket inserts directly into any open PCI-E 4X, 8X or 16X slot without cables or external power. It routes a single Type-E connector to the front panel, leaving rear motherboard ports untouched. The host system must run Windows 10 or 11 for driver-less operation. Builders without a free PCI-E lane cannot use this adapter.
