Front-panel USB 3.0 expansion

This Fervit adapter adds two USB 3.0 headers to a desktop by using a single PCI-E 1x slot. It is built around a VL805 controller and targets builders whose motherboard lacks enough internal 19-pin or 20-pin connectors for front-panel ports. The card delivers up to 5Gbit/s bandwidth per header for compatible peripherals.

Build integration and requirements

The card plugs into any free PCI-E 1x slot and draws auxiliary power from a SATA 15-pin connector, so a spare power lead from the PSU is required. It converts the single expansion lane into two standard USB 3.0 headers, freeing the builder from hunting for a board with native headers or from using slower USB 2.0 alternatives.

Bundled functionality

No extra cables, brackets or driver discs are mentioned in the supplied data. The product relies on the VL805 chipset for native operating-system support, meaning the two headers become usable once the card is seated, powered and recognised by the OS without additional software installation.
