Vszerda 4-Port PCIe x1 to USB 3.0 Expansion Card

SKU CH-89W2-JPMWX

Adds four USB 3.0 ports via a PCIe x1 slot, delivering up to 5 Gbps per port with SATA or IDE power input

  • Adds four USB 3.0 ports via a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Delivers up to 5000 Mbps data throughput per port
  • Supports USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 devices simultaneously
  • Powers each port with 900 mA from SATA or IDE connector
  • Works with Windows 7, 8 and 10 on 32 and 64 bit systems

Four-Port PCIe x1 USB 3.0 Adapter

This Vszerda expansion card adds four external USB 3.0 ports through a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 slot. It suits desktop owners who need more SuperSpeed connections for peripherals such as external drives, cameras or input devices. The board fits any standard x1 or larger slot and requires a VLI driver installation under Windows 7, 8 or 10 (32-bit or 64-bit).

Powered by SATA or IDE connector

Each port delivers up to 900 mA at 5 V, so bus-powered devices can operate without an extra wall adapter. Power is drawn from a standard SATA or IDE power connector on the PSU, meaning cable routing stays inside the case. The bracket presents four Type-A sockets spaced for simultaneous use of typical plugs.

Limited to 5 Gbps aggregate bandwidth

The x1 Gen2 link caps total throughput at 5000 Mbps shared across all four ports, so simultaneous high-speed transfers will contend for bandwidth. Ports negotiate down to 480 Mbps, 12 Mbps or 1.5 Mbps for USB 2.0, 1.1 and low-speed devices respectively. No internal header cables are included; the card provides only the external rear-facing ports.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express generation and lane width does this card use?

It runs on a single-lane PCI Express Gen2 interface, so the four USB 3.0 ports share one 5 Gbps upstream link.

Which internal power connector must be free on the power supply?

A spare SATA power connector is required; the card also accepts an IDE power plug if that is what the PSU provides.

Which driver must be installed before the card works in Windows?

The VLI USB 3.0 driver has to be installed first; after that Windows 7, 8 or 10 (32-bit or 64-bit) will recognise all four ports.
