SKU CH-9F0Z-DAMJR

  • Add five USB 3.0 ports for more peripherals
  • Transfer files at up to 5Gbps with USB 3.0 speed
  • Works with Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7 systems
  • Installs in a standard PCI Express slot inside the PC
  • Connect drives, cameras, controllers and other USB devices

Five USB 3.0 ports added via PCI Express

This SMUGDESK expansion card plugs into a standard PCI Express slot on a desktop motherboard and provides five extra USB 3.0 ports for connecting peripherals such as external drives, cameras and game controllers. It is designed for users who need more high-speed USB connections than their case currently offers.

Replaces USB 2.0 speeds and limited port counts

The card supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5Gbps, which is faster than USB 2.0 for file backups and video transfers. The upgrade is worth it when your desktop runs Windows 11, 10, 8 or 7 and you regularly move large files or attach multiple devices at once.

Verify an open PCI Express slot before ordering

Check that your motherboard has a free PCI Express slot and that your case has room for the bracket. The card works with mainstream Windows systems, but it does not add ports to laptops or systems without an internal PCI Express slot.
