Introduction

The PEXUSB3S400 PCI Express x4 USB 3.0 Card (with SATA Power) adds 4 independent external USB 3.0 ports to any PCI Express x4-enabled computer system. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps of data bandwidth, while remaining backward compatible with existing USB 2.0 devices at 480Mbps.

With each port being indpendent, full bandwidth is available per port, instead of shared between ports. This allows for maximum transfer rates if multiple devices are connected.

Using a “stacked” port layout that places the ports one on top of the other, more ports are able to fit into a smaller space. This 4-port PCIe x4 USB 3.0 adapter enables all four USB 3.0 ports to be external facing, while still allowing the card to fit into a small form factor/low profile computer system.

Plus, with a built-in SATA power connector, each USB port can provide up to 900mA of power to devices that draw power from a host bus connection (500mA for USB 2.0) by connecting to your computer power supply.

The PEXUSB3S400 USB 3.0 PCIe x4 card is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
