LORDWORLD 4 Port PCI-E 1X to USB 3.0 Hub Adapter 80/120mm Bracket

SKU CH-CZXB-64R1P

Adds four USB 3.0 ports via a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 slot with 80 mm and 120 mm brackets, delivering up to 5000 Mbps per port and 900 mA power from a SATA or IDE connector

  • Adds four USB 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Low-profile and standard brackets fit 80 mm or 120 mm brackets
  • 5 Gbps peak throughput for fast external storage
  • Each port delivers 900 mA at 5 V for power-hungry devices
  • Powered by SATA or IDE connector for stable operation

Four USB 3.0 ports on a single x1 lane

The LORDWORLD adapter adds four external USB 3.0 ports through a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 slot. Each port delivers up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed transfer rates and 900 mA of power. A SATA or IDE power connector supplies the hub. Windows 7, 8 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) are supported once the NEC USB 3.0 driver is installed.

Suits PCs with a free x1 slot needing more USB 3.0

Builders restoring USB 3.0 to older motherboards or expanding front-panel connectivity will find this card useful. The low-profile 9.5 mm bracket and a standard bracket are both included for different chassis. Systems without a spare PCIe x1 slot or without a SATA or IDE power lead cannot use it. Buyers who want internal drive connections instead of external ports should look elsewhere.

Four ports share one 5 Gbps lane

All four ports share the single x1 Gen2 uplink, so simultaneous heavy transfers on multiple devices will contend for the 5 Gbps total bandwidth. Each port is rated for 900 mA output, enough for most bus-powered drives and peripherals. Very high-draw devices or many drives running at once may exceed the shared power budget or the lane throughput.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a free PCI Express x1 slot for this card?

Yes, the adapter plugs into a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 x1 slot and includes both a 9.5 mm low-profile bracket and a standard bracket.

Will my USB 2.0 flash drives and older peripherals still work on the four new ports?

The four USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices at 1.5, 12 and 480 Mbps.

How can I verify each port is delivering 5 Gbps after installing the NEC driver on Windows 10 64-bit?

Connect a USB 3.0 storage device and check that the transfer rate reaches 5000 Mbps in the OS speed read-out.
