StarTech.com 2 Port Mini PCIe USB 3 Card

Product Description

Add two USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 ports through a Mini PCI Express slot. The MPEXUSB3S22B 2-Port Mini PCI Express USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Card with Bracket Kit adds two external USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 ports to small form-factor systems, for connecting a variety of different peripherals. The card also

Includes:: optional standard & low profile brackets to fit a rear expansion bay if needed. The Mini PCIe USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 card supports the full Super Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus)

Specification, with fast data transfer speeds (up to 5 Gbps), as well as 900m A of power per port, making it a convenient addition for connecting your USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 peripheral devices. Enhanced with UASP support (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 controller performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 when paired with a UASP supported enclosure (Note: UASP requires a compatible operating system). Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP technology optimizes transfers by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously, significantly increasing transfer speeds for less wait time on data transfers. Using the Mini PCI Express (Mini Card) form factor & offering compliance with PCI Express Gen 2, this adapter card is designed for use in the latest small form factor computer systems, such as Mini-ITX or custom embedded solutions where a standard PCIe card would not fit. UASP is supported in Windows 8, Server 2012 & Linux kernel 2.6.3 or later. In testing UASP performed with up to a 70% faster read / 40% faster write speed over traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 at peak performance. At the same peak in testing, UASP also showed up to an 80% reduction in required processor resources. Test results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, Star Tech.com add-on USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 cards, a UASP-enabled Star Tech.com enclosure, & a SATA III solid state drive.
