Overview

Add 4 USB 3.0 ports with four independent channels



StarTech.com 's PEXUSB3S44V controller card allows you to add four dedicated 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 ports to your PCI-E x4 compatible PC. The independent port architecture enhances the performance of USB 3.0 by transferring data to your computer on four independent lanes, giving you faster transfer speeds. By using four host controller chipsets, each port functions as an independent transmission path. Allocating 5 Gb/s per USB port reduces slowdowns and quadruples the total available to you, giving you up to 20 Gb/s of bandwidth.

Enhanced with UASP, this USB 3.0 controller is 70% faster than a conventional USB 3.0 port when paired with an enclosure with UASP support. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT, UASP optimises transfer by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously, significantly increasing transfer speeds.


Up and running in no time
