StarTech PEXUSB3S44V. Brand NewIncludes 2 Year Warranty.. Product # PEXUSB3S44V.. Add four USB 3.0 ports with four independent channels, LP/SATA power, and charging support to your PC through a PCI Express slot. The PEXUSB3S44V 4-Port PCI Express USB 3.0 Card lets you add four, dedicated 5 Gbps USB 3.0 ports to your PCIe x4-enabled PC. This independent port architecture improves USB 3.0 performance by transferring data on four individual channels to your computer, giving you faster file transfers... When multiple devices are connected, traditional single bus USB 3.0 cards share your maximum bandwidth between all ports.
By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on a separate independent transmission channel. Dedicating up to 5 Gbps to each USB port reduces performance bottlenecks, and effectively quadruples your total available to bandwidth to 20 Gbps... Enhanced with UASP support (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB 3.0 controller performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a
UASP supported enclosure (Note: UASP requires a compatible operating system). Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP technology optimizes transfers by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously, significantly increasing transfer speeds for less wait time on data transfers. See our UASP test results below for further details... For high-power USB devices, this PCIe USB 3.0 card includes an optional SATA or LP4 power connector to connect to your system

The StarTech.com PEXUSB3S44V is a PCIe x4 expansion card that adds four USB 3.0 ports with independent 5 Gbps channels, making it suitable for desktop PC users who need more high-speed USB connectivity and up to 20 Gbps of combined bandwidth.
Recommended For
- Desktop users who transfer files between multiple USB 3.0 storage devices and want each port on a separate host-controller channel rather than sharing one card-level USB bus.
- PC VR users troubleshooting USB connection or bandwidth issues with headsets such as the Oculus Rift S; community reports describe using this card to add a dedicated USB controller for the headset.
- Desktop owners who need four additional USB-A ports for peripherals or external drives and have an available PCIe x4 slot, including small-form-factor PCs that can use the included low-profile bracket.
- Users connecting several bus-powered USB devices who can connect SATA or LP4 power from the PC’s power supply to support the card’s per-port power provision.
