StarTech.com 4 Port USB 3.1 PCIe Card – 3X USB-A and 1x USB-C – 2x

Description

The card makes it easy to upgrade your PC to the faster speed of USB 3.1 (10 Gbps), so you can access newer peripherals at twice the speed of traditional USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) cards. When connecting multiple devices, conventional USB cards with one bus distribute the maximum bandwidth across all ports. By using two host controller chipsets distributed over two ports instead of four, this four-slot PCIe-to-USB 3.1 card provides up to 10 Gbps for each set of two USB ports. This reduces performance bottlenecks and doubles your total available bandwidth to 20 Gbps. With support for higher data throughput, the card is ideal for external hard drives, hard drive enclosures and large external storage devices. It gives you read and write access to multiple devices simultaneously. The 4-slot USB 3.1 controller card provides two independent channels to your computer and splits 10 Gbps bandwidth between two USB ports. Each set of two ports shares a combined bandwidth of 10 Gbps. When a single device accesses the channel, the card provides that device with data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps. If two devices access the channel simultaneously, the 10 Gbps bandwidth is shared between the two devices.
