Five-port USB 3.2 expansion card

The LORDWORLD PCIe card adds three USB-C and two USB-A ports to any desktop with a free PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It delivers up to 10 Gbps transfer rates for external drives, cameras and peripherals. Backwards compatibility covers USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Windows 10 and macOS 10.8.2 or later work without extra drivers.

Upgrade from limited onboard ports

This card replaces a motherboard that only offers a handful of legacy USB sockets or slower 5 Gbps headers. The jump is worth it when you regularly move large video files or connect multiple high-speed drives at once. It will not help if the bottleneck is the attached device itself, since actual throughput is limited by the connected hardware. Older Windows versions such as XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2008 require manual driver installation.

Straightforward slot installation

Power down the PC, unplug the mains cable and wait two minutes before fitting the card into any compatible PCIe slot. No auxiliary power connector is needed. The most common issue is forgetting the driver requirement on older operating systems, which leaves the new ports invisible until the supplied software is installed. Ensure the slot is fully seated to avoid intermittent disconnects.

Questions about this item

Does the card need a full-length x16 slot or will an x1 slot work?

It fits any PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 socket on a PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 motherboard.

Why does the manual say to wait two minutes after unplugging the power cord before installing?

Residual charge in the power supply can damage the card; the wait lets capacitors discharge fully.

Will I need to replace any driver or firmware on Windows 11 later?

Windows 10 and 11 use the in-box driver, so no separate driver updates are required.
