- Mini PCI Express
- USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 x 2 Add 2 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 ports through a mini PCI Express slot. The MPEXUSB3S2 2-Port Mini PCI Express USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Card Adapter adds two external USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports to small form-factor systems, for connecting a variety of different peripherals. Compliant with the Super Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0
Specification, with support for transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps (10x faster than USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0) & power output up to 900 m A. 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, this adapter card is designed for use in the latest very 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.
