Green circuit board with silver PCIe bracket two blue USB 3.0 ports and white internal header plus black SATA power connector

Vszerda

Vszerda PCIe to 4 Port USB 3.0 Card SATA Power

SKU CH-EVJE-HB4NJ

Adds four USB 3.0 ports — two external and two via a 20-pin header — through a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot with SATA power for high-draw devices

  • Add four USB 3.0 ports via PCIe x1 slot
  • Two external Type-A ports plus 20-pin internal header
  • NEC UPD720201 chipset delivers 5 Gbps transfer speed
  • SATA 15-pin power connector supports power-hungry devices
  • Compatible with PCIe 2.0 x1, x4, x8, x16 slots

Add four USB 3.0 ports to a desktop

This PCIe expansion card adds two external Type-A ports and a 20-pin internal header, giving a desktop four extra USB 3.0 connections through a single x1 slot. It fits any motherboard with a PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and uses the NEC UPD720201 chipset. The card supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. A SATA 15-pin power connector supplements slot power for demanding peripherals.

CD driver and SATA power connector

The bundled CD provides the driver installation media for supported operating systems including Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and Linux. The on-board SATA 15-pin power interface delivers enhanced power capacity beyond what the PCIe slot alone can supply. This allows the card to run power-hungry USB devices more reliably. The full-profile bracket secures the card in a standard desktop chassis.

PCIe 2.0 x1 host interface

The card connects through a PCIe 2.0 x1 link that provides up to 5 Gbps of bus bandwidth to match the USB 3.0 standard. It is compliant with the XHCI 1.0 specification for broad OS compatibility. Systems limited to PCIe 1.0 slots will not reach the full 5 Gbps transfer rate. Buyers who need more than four USB 3.0 ports should consider a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the 15-pin SATA power connector on the card need periodic replacement?

The 15-pin SATA power connector is a standard passive interface; it does not wear out under normal use and requires no scheduled replacement.

Which limit appears first when all four USB 3.0 ports run at 5 Gbps through the PCIe 2.0 x1 host link?

The PCIe 2.0 x1 host interface caps total throughput at 5 Gbps, so the bus bandwidth becomes the bottleneck before any individual port reaches its maximum rate.

How much heat does the NEC UPD720201 chipset generate when the card powers external drives all day?

The NEC UPD720201 chipset runs cool under typical loads; the card has no active cooling and relies on case airflow, which is sufficient for continuous operation.
