  • Delivers up to 5 Gbit/s transfer speed with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and 1.1
  • Includes SATA 15-pin power connector for stable operation of high-draw devices

USB 3.1 PCIe expansion card

This Vszerda adapter adds one USB Type-C and two USB Type-A ports to a desktop through a single PCI Express 1x slot. It uses the VIA VL805 chipset and complies with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard for 5Gbps throughput. A SATA 15-pin power connector supplies extra current for demanding peripherals. The full-profile bracket fits standard desktop cases.

Upgrade from onboard headers

The card replaces limited front-panel headers or older USB 2.0 brackets by delivering three SuperSpeed ports at 5Gbps. The jump is worthwhile when the motherboard lacks a native Type-C port or when existing ports share bandwidth with other devices. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 preserves support for legacy accessories.

Build integration notes

Installation requires a free PCIe 1x, 4x, 8x or 16x slot and a spare SATA power lead from the supply. The adapter works with Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and Linux without extra drivers. It adds external connectivity without occupying drive bays or internal USB headers.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot size and bracket does the card require for mounting?

It fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and uses a full-profile PCI slot cover for rear-panel mounting.

How is the card powered and which step is often missed during installation?

Connect the onboard SATA 15-pin power connector to the PSU; the card will not supply 5 Gbps to high-draw devices without it.

Which component will need attention if USB ports stop delivering full 5 Gbps speeds over time?

The VIA VL805 chipset and SATA power connection should be checked first; dust or a loose power lead can throttle throughput.
