The PEXUSB3S42 controller card from StarTech.com is a cost-effective solution for equipping your computer with USB 3.0 connectivity.With its three external ports and one internal port, the term "flexible connection" takes on its full meaning. Thanks to the three external USB 3.0 ports, you can connect more devices to your computer. The card provides easy access to commonly used peripherals, such as a tablet and an external hard drive. Its internal USB port, meanwhile, lets you plug a device like a USB stick into the computer case itself, providing a more secure and convenient solution.
With data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s, USB 3.0 ensures fast access to your files. What's more, this card is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices, eliminating the cost and hassle of upgrading.
The dual-profile format of this USB 3.0 PCI Express card means it can be installed in almost any computer. Equipped with a standard height bracket, it also includes a space-saving bracket for installation in compact or half-height systems.
This high-performance USB 3.0 card supports the UASP protocol, which can increase read speeds by up to 70% and write speeds by around 40% compared with conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-compatible enclosure.

Product referenced on 18 Nov 2016
The driver dates from January 2014, so Windows 10 has driver problems (non-migrated device) and disables / restarts the device at random....
It's fine if you use it as a USB flash drive port or other occasional external mass storage, it's prohibitive when you have a heavily used USB device (in this case an Oculus Rift).
The card is recognized without problem under Linux (plug and play). The USB 3 management works perfectly, unlike the integrated ports on my motherboard which is a bit old (ASUS P8P67LE).
The product meets all the specifications described. It works without any special handling, both on the hardware and software side (windows10). I received it quickly and it is very well protected in its transport packaging.
Thank you
The product was delivered to the shop on time, corresponds well to the advertisement, easy installation, recognized by Win10 without any problem.
However I am returning this product, not because it is a problem but because it uses a VIA or ASMedia chipset that is incompatible with my new Oculus Rift S which requires a USB 3.0 port on an Intel or Fresco Logic chipset... But that's an Oculus problem essentially.
The after-sales service responded to my request by sending me a return coupon to print and send the product back to LDLC. Thank you LDLC for the quality of service.
Thank you ldlc always a fast and neat service. the USB 3.0 card works very well it installs itself with w10 a pleasure to increase its usb3.0 support in addition powered by SATA.
Thank you for the great service!
