SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe X1 4-Port USB 3.0 + Type-C Data Adapter D720201 SATA Power

SKU CH-T46K-QWN15

Adds four USB 3.0 and Type-C ports via a PCIe slot with SATA auxiliary power for high-draw devices

  • Adds four USB 3.0 ports plus one Type-C for faster peripheral connectivity
  • D720201 controller keeps multiple devices transferring data at full 5Gbps bandwidth simultaneously
  • SATA power connector delivers extra current so external SSDs and hubs run reliably
  • Fits any PCIe X1, X4, X8 or X16 slot with the included standard bracket
  • Works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices on Windows and Linux without extra drivers

What this card adds

A single PCIe X1 slot becomes four extra USB ports: three standard USB-A sockets and one USB-C socket. The D720201 controller keeps each port at full 5Gbps bandwidth even when several devices are active. It suits desktop owners who need more front-panel style connectivity without opening the case again.

Thermals noise and power

The board draws its primary power from the PCIe slot and supplements high-draw peripherals through an on-board SATA power connector. No active cooling is present, so the card runs silently and adds negligible heat inside the chassis. Typical loads stay well within the slot and SATA supply limits.

Build and daily use

A standard-height bracket aligns with common case cut-outs and the card fits any PCIe X1, X4, X8 or X16 slot. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 means older keyboards, mice or printers still work. Driver-free operation on Windows and Linux keeps setup straightforward.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SMUGDESK PCIe X1 card and connect the SATA power plug?

Insert the card into any PCIe X1, X4, X8 or X16 slot, secure the standard bracket, then attach a SATA power cable from your PSU to the onboard connector for extra power.

Will the D720201 controller or SATA power connector need replacement over time?

The D720201 controller is a fixed onboard chip and the SATA power connector is a passive socket; neither is designed as a user-replaceable part.

What throughput limit appears first when all four ports run sustained transfers?

The single PCIe X1 lane caps total bandwidth at 5Gbps, shared across the four USB 3.0 and Type-C ports.
