Specification Sheet

With higher data throughput support, this PCI Express USB 3.1 card is a necessity for external hard
drives, hard drive enclosures, and many other USB 3.1 peripherals. Plus, the USB card includes an
optional SATA or LP4 power connector to connect to your system power supply and deliver up to 900mA
of power per port to USB 3.1 bus-powered devices (500mA for USB 2.0). The card is ideal for use with
large external storage solutions.
Shared bandwidth
The 4-port USB 3.1 card features dual independent channels to your computer and shares 10Gbps of
bandwidth between two USB ports.
Each set of two ports shares a combined bandwidth of 10Gbps. If a single device is accessing the channel,
the card will provide data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps to the device. If two devices are accessing the
channel simultaneously, the 10Gbps of bandwidth will be shared between both devices.
Room for four additional devices
With four external USB-A ports you can connect more devices to your computer. The card provides easy
access to commonly-used peripherals such as your flash drive and external hard drive and allows you to
connect to both current and future high-bandwidth USB-A devices.
For more flexibility, you can couple the card with a USB-C to USB-A Cable (USB31AC1M) and connect your
USB Type-C™ devices.
Compatible with older USB devices
Connecting older peripherals isn’t a problem. This versatile USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) card is backward
compatible with legacy USB 3.0/2.0 devices that use the common USB Type-A port, so you can eliminate
the added expense and aggravation of purchasing new devices.
The PEXUSB314A2V is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
