Additional Notes
Product Description
This PCI Express x1 card gives a desktop PC or workstation four extra external USB 3.0 Type-A ports, running at up to 5Gbps and still working with older USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. It is offered with either an NEC (uPD720201) or a VIA (VL805) host controller, so you can pick the chipset version that suits your system or your existing driver setup. A 15-pin SATA power input supplies extra power to the USB ports for devices that draw current from the bus, and a low profile bracket is included for slim cases. It is a practical way to add USB 3.0 connectivity to older machines or to expand the ports on a workstation.
