Expansion Card Overview

This PCI Express add-in card adds seven USB 3.0 ports to a desktop computer through a single expansion slot. It provides two USB-C and five USB-A connectors for connecting peripherals such as storage drives, input devices and other accessories.

Build Quality and Connectors

The card draws power directly from the PCI Express slot and requires no extra power cables from the power supply. The vertical USB-A ports have a height of .72 inches, so the available bracket clearance should be checked before installation. Each USB-A port supplies up to 5V .9A while each USB-C port supplies up to 5V 3A for low-power devices.

Interface Limits

The card operates at up to 5Gbps per port and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. It fits PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots but is not compatible with older PCI slots. Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2008 require driver installation, while Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.8.2 and above work without drivers. The card supports data transfer only and does not carry video signals.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express slot versions does the card fit, and what bandwidth ceiling does that impose?

It fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and is compliant with PCIe 3.0 and 2.0, so the practical ceiling is the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 limit per port.

How tall is the USB-A port stack, and why does that matter for my case?

The vertical USB-A ports sit .72 inches high; verify your expansion-slot bracket clearance before ordering.

Which operating systems need a driver download, and where do I get it?

Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2008 require the Fresco Logic driver from the support link; Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.8.2+ work without extra software.
