4-port PCI Express USB 3.0 card - 2 external, 2 internal - SATA power
StarTech ID: PEXUSB3S2EI
This PCI Express USB 3.0 card offers a cost-effective upgrade that lets you add four USB 3.0 ports to your
computer through a PCIe slot. It offers two external ports plus two internal USB 3.0 headers to help adapt your
desktop or server to support a variety of USB 3.0 devices.
Flexible and convenient port design
With extra motherboard-style USB 3.0 headers you have the flexibility to add more internal USB 3.0 devices to
your PC. When your existing headers are occupied, you can connect front panel hubs or card readers using this
versatile alternative to costly motherboard and computer upgrades.
For added convenience, the card integrates two external USB 3.0 ports, so you can plug in more devices such
as external hard drives or printers.
Simple installation and supports older devices
The USB 3.0 card is easy to install and requires no additional drivers or software in natively supported
Windows® 8.1 / 8 operating systems. Plus, it features a dual profile design that fits in standard or low-profile
cases, so you can rest assured it will fit in your small form-factor system if needed.
Connecting older peripherals isn't a problem either. So, there’s no need to purchase new devices since the
adapter card is backward compatible with your USB 2.0 and 1.x technology.
