This item is brand-new, factory sealed.

HIGH PERFORMANCE: USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 PCIe Host Controller card supports Multiple INs, maintains max bandwidth even when mixed speed devices are connected; 2x USB-C 10Gbps per port


POWER: Expansion card w/ SATA power header supplies supplemental power to the USB Type-C ports (when motherboard power is insufficient) providing up to 5V 3A (15W) via the USB-C ports


MAX PERFORMANCE WITH USB STORAGE DEVICES: 2-port USB-C PCIe Card adapter supports USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) optimizing USB performance w/ external storage devices like SSDs, HDDs, NVMe drives



This PCIe USB 3.1 Gen 2 card installs into an available PCI-Express slot in your computer and enables you to upgrade your current system by adding two USB-C (10Gbps) ports.



Faster USB Performance

Also known as USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, this USB 3.1 Gen 2 card adds two 10Gbps USB Type-C ports to your computer.



Utilizing an ASMedia ASM3142 chipset, this card harnesses the speed of USB 3.1 Gen 2. With higher data throughput support, this USB 3.1 Gen 2 PCIe expansion card is a necessity for external drives and many other USB 3.1 Gen 2 peripherals and includes an optional SATA power connector for high power devices.



The card is backward compatible with USB 3.0 (5Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480mbps) devices. The card works with newer USB-C devices, but can easily support your existing USB-A peripherals using inexpensive USB Type C cables and adapters. See our Accessories Tab for supported options. HARDWARE
