Add three external and one internal USB 3.0 ports

This Syba SD-PEX20137 expansion card adds three external USB 3.0 ports and one internal USB 3.0 port to a desktop computer through a PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot. The card is based on a Renesas USB 3.0 host controller IC and complies with the xHCI 1.0 specification. A Molex power feed connector supplies power for connected devices. Both standard and low-profile brackets are included for different chassis types.

Suits PCs with a free PCI-e slot needing extra USB

Builders restoring or upgrading legacy systems running Windows XP, Vista, 7 or Server 2008 R2 will find WHQL-certified drivers on the included CD. The card also works with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices at their native speeds. Systems that require drivers for newer operating systems or that lack a PCI Express x1 slot cannot use this card.

PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface determines

The card installs in any PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot and negotiates a 5 Gbps SuperSpeed link per port. No other bus width or slot generation is supported. Verify that the motherboard provides an open x1 slot and a Molex power connector before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the card with three external and one internal USB 3.0 ports or a different layout?

This model provides exactly three external USB 3.0 ports and one internal USB 3.0 port plus a Molex power feed; choose it when you need that specific mix of front-panel and internal connections.

What does the 5Gbps Super-Speed rating mean once the card is installed?

The 5Gbps figure is the theoretical USB 3.0 bus ceiling; actual throughput will be lower due to PCIe 2.0 x1 bandwidth limits and protocol overhead.

The card uses a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot — what does that cap in practice?

PCIe 2.0 x1 delivers up to 5GT/s raw bandwidth, which is below the USB 3.0 5Gbps spec, so the slot becomes the bottleneck for sustained transfers.
