One 20 Gbps Type-C Port

The Orico PE20-1C adds a single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port to a desktop computer through a PCIe x4 3.0 slot. It delivers up to 20 Gbps bandwidth for external drives, backups, video editing and data recovery. The card fits PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slots and includes a SATA 15-pin power connector for stable operation. No driver is required for Windows 8, 10 or Linux kernels.

Suits builds needing one fast Type-C port

This card is for users who want a single 20 Gbps Type-C connection on a desktop with a free PCIe slot. It does not suit buyers who need more than one external Type-C port or who require internal Type-C headers for front-panel connectors. Systems running Windows 7 are not supported. Laptops and small-form-factor PCs without a full-size PCIe slot cannot use this card.

20 Gbps over PCIe x4 3.0

The decisive specification is the 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface running on a PCIe x4 3.0 link. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether the card can feed your external SSD or raid enclosure at full speed. If your workload demands more than one 20 Gbps port or needs Thunderbolt 3 certification, this card will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What does the 20 Gbps rating mean when the card is installed in a desktop?

The card provides one external USB Type-C port and one internal USB port, each capable of up to 20 Gbps bandwidth for fast data transfer with compatible drives, while remaining backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.

Which PCIe standard does the x4 slot use and what throughput limit does that impose?

The card fits a PCIe x4 3.0 slot and also works in x8 or x16 slots, delivering the full 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 rate through that interface.

What power connector does the card require and how does it mount?

A SATA 15-pin power connector supplies stable power, and the card installs in any standard PCIe x4, x8 or x16 expansion slot on the motherboard.
