PCIe 4x expansion card with four USB ports
This Fervit card adds four USB ports over a PCIe 4x slot using dual ASM3142 and VL822 chipsets. It delivers 10Gbps data rates and supplies 5V/3A power for charging. No external power supply is required thanks to a built-in self-powered IC. The card fits desktop systems needing extra high-speed USB connectivity.
Upgrade from slower USB 3.0 or 2.0 headers
The jump is worthwhile when you need simultaneous 10Gbps transfers on multiple ports for external SSDs or docks. It replaces limited front-panel headers or older expansion cards that cap at lower speeds. Windows 7 requires a driver install while Windows 10, Mac OS 10.8.2+ and Linux work natively.
Four ports sharing 10Gbps bandwidth
Comfortably handles several high-speed drives or peripherals at once, with 5V/3A available per port for power-hungry devices. The USB-C connector carries data and power only and cannot drive video, audio or thunderbolt devices. Bandwidth is shared across all four ports so sustained peak throughput on every port simultaneously is not guaranteed.

Questions about this item
Does this card need a separate power cable to run four 10 Gbps ports?
No, a self-powered IC is built in so no extra power supply is required.
Which driver step catches people out when adding this to Windows 7?
Windows 7 needs the ASM3142 VL822 driver installed manually; Windows 10, Mac OS 10.8.2+ and Linux work without it.
When will the front-panel 20-pin header or rear ports need replacement?
Only if the 5 V 3 A power delivery or 10 Gbps data path fails — there are no moving parts or scheduled maintenance.
