Two rear and one internal USB 3.0 ports

This PCI Express add-in card adds two external USB 3.0 ports and a single 20-pin internal header to a desktop computer. It is aimed at system builders and upgraders who need more SuperSpeed connections for peripherals or front-panel expansion. The card fits x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 slots and includes a low-profile bracket for small-form-factor cases.

5.0 Gbps USB 3.0 data rate

The controller delivers up to 5.0 Gbps transfer speed per port, matching the USB 3.0 specification. Actual throughput depends on the attached device and system configuration. The VL805 chipset provides native PCI Express 2.0 connectivity and supports Windows XP through current versions plus Linux without extra drivers.

Powered by 15-pin SATA connector

A 15-pin to 4-pin SATA power cable supplies stable current for multiple high-draw devices simultaneously. The card draws auxiliary power only when devices are connected, keeping idle consumption low. No active cooling is required, so operation stays silent in typical desktop workloads.

Questions about this item

What does the 5.0 Gbps headline speed mean once the card is installed in a real machine?

The 5.0 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 bus ceiling; actual throughput depends on the connected device, cable quality and system load, so sustained speeds will usually sit below that maximum.

Which PCI Express standard does the card use and what does that cap in practice?

It complies with PCI Express 2.0 and fits x1 through x16 slots; the x1 electrical link limits total bandwidth to roughly 4 Gbps, which is below the USB 3.0 5.0 Gbps rating.

What does the card physically need to fit and mount in a desktop case?

A free PCI Express slot (x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16), the included low-profile bracket for slim cases, and a SATA power connector from the PSU for the 15-pin power input.
