PCIe USB 3.0 Type-C card with 2.4A charging

This Vszerda add-in card adds one external USB 3.0 Type-C port and two internal 20-pin USB 3.0 headers to a desktop PC. It uses a PCI Express x1 slot and draws supplementary power from a 15-pin SATA connector. The NEC UPD720201 controller provides 5 Gbps bandwidth and is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 8 and Linux.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 headers

The jump is worth it when a case provides USB 3.0 front-panel connectors but the motherboard lacks matching 20-pin headers. It also adds a dedicated Type-C port for newer peripherals and a 2.4 A charge-only port for phones or tablets. The charge port requires the SATA power cable to be connected and does not transfer data.

Fits a PCIe x1, x4, x8

The card occupies one expansion bracket and leaves other slots open. Internal 20-pin headers connect to front-panel USB 3.0 bays or floppy-bay adapters. The external Type-C port is ready for flash drives or docks, while the charge-only port frees the data ports for storage devices.
