The StarTech.com 4 Port PCI Express USB 3.0 Card Adapter lets you add four super-fast USB 3.0 ports to your PC. With dedicated 5 Gbps channels for each port, you’ll experience faster data transfers and better performance, especially when using multiple devices at once.
Why Choose This USB 3.0 Card?
Faster File Transfers with UASP
This USB 3.0 card supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), which can boost transfer speeds by up to 70% compared to traditional USB 3.0. Whether you’re moving large files or backing up data, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time being productive. UASP also reduces the load on your processor, making your system more efficient.
Independent Ports for Maximum Performance
Unlike other USB cards that share bandwidth across all ports, this adapter uses four independent channels.
