Superspeed connectivity for the desktop tower
Tucked inside the chassis of your desktop, this expansion card unlocks the full potential of your storage devices. It transforms a standard motherboard slot into a hub for high-speed peripherals, ensuring that large files move without hesitation.
Designed for users who require rapid data throughput, it connects external drives, cameras, or other USB 3.0 devices directly to the system bus. The included internal connector allows you to route ports to front-panel headers, keeping your workspace uncluttered while maintaining peak performance.
PERFORMANCE
Ten times faster than previous standards
Operating at Superspeed USB 3.0 levels, the card achieves data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. This is ten times faster than High-Speed USB 2.0, which caps out at 480 Mbps. When connected to a powered source, each port delivers up to 900mA of current, providing sufficient power for demanding peripherals like external hard drives without relying solely on the motherboard's limited output.
CONNECTIVITY
Two external ports plus internal routing
The card features two Type-B external ports on its bracket, allowing direct connection to devices behind the computer. Additionally, it includes a dual-port internal connector that plugs into the front panel header of your case. This setup lets you access USB 3.0 speeds from the front of your PC, ideal for frequently swapping flash drives or connecting portable media players.
COMPATIBILITY
Seamless integration with legacy systems
Built to comply with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0, the card fits standard x1 slots. It remains backward compatible with PCI Express 1.0 and USB 2.0 devices, ensuring older peripherals still function correctly. The driver CD supports Windows XP, Vista, and 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit configurations, as well as Server 2008, making it a versatile upgrade for existing workstations.
DIMENSIONS
Compact form factor for tight cases
Measuring approximately 94.1mm in length, 64.2mm in width, and just 1.6mm in height, the board occupies minimal space within the tower. Weighing only 48.5 grams, it exerts little stress on the expansion slot. The packing carton measures 21 x 14 x 7 cm and weighs 0.5 kg, containing the card, user manual, and driver disc.
