Product Description

Add four USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-A ports with two independent 10 Gbps channels to your computer, through a PCI Express slot. This USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 PCIe card lets you add four USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-A ports to your computer, through a PCI Express slot. With two independent 10 Gbps channels, the card makes it easy to upgrade your PC to the faster speed of USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen 2 so that you can access newer peripherals at twice the speed of traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) cards. When multiple devices are connected, traditional single-bus USB (Universal Serial Bus) cards share your maximum bandwidth between all ports. By employing two host controller chipsets, shared across two ports rather than four, this 4-port USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 card dedicates up to 10 Gbps for each set of two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. It reduces performance bottlenecks & doubles your total available bandwidth to 20 Gbps. By adding 10 Gbps USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports to your computer, you can harness the speed of USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen 2 & rest assured you're ready for both current & future high-bandwidth USB (Universal Serial Bus)-A devices. With higher data throughput support, this PCI Express USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 card is a necessity for external hard drives, hard drive enclosures, & many other USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 peripherals. Plus, the USB (Universal Serial Bus) card

Includes:: an optional SATA or LP4 power connector to connect to your system power supply & deliver up to 900m A of power per port to USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 bus-powered devices (500m A for USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0). The card is ideal to be used with large external storage solutions. The 4-port USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 card features dual independent channels to your computer & shares 10 Gbps of bandwidth between two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. Each set of two ports shares a combined bandwidth of 10 Gbps. If a single device is accessing the channel, the card will provide data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps to the device. If two devices are accessing the channel simultaneously, the 10 Gbps of bandwidth will be shared between both devices. With four external USB (Universal Serial Bus)-A ports you can connect more devices to your computer. The card provides easy access to commonly-used peripherals su
