Add two USB 3.0 ports via PCI Express

The Syba SY-PEX20081 is a PCI Express to USB card that adds two external USB 3.0 ports to a desktop computer. It uses the Etron EJ168 chipset and delivers data transfer rates up to 5.0 Gbps. The card complies with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 and USB 3.0 Specification Revision 1.0. A driver CD and user manual are included in the package.

Suits PCs with a free PCIe slot running Windows

This card suits builders who need to add USB 3.0 connectivity to a system with an available PCI Express slot. It supports Windows 7 32/64-bit, Vista, XP and Linux. It is not for users who lack a spare PCIe slot or who require more than two additional USB ports. It also does not suit those needing internal USB headers or a different form factor such as M.2.

Two external USB 3.0 ports at up to 5.0 Gbps

The decisive specification is the two external USB 3.0 ports operating at up to 5.0 Gbps. This determines whether the card provides the port count and speed your peripherals require. The card fits a standard PCI Express slot and draws power from the bus. Verify that your chassis has a free bracket opening for the two ports.
