## Description

Expand the USB Capabilities of Your System This 4 port USB 3.0 PCIe card lets you add four dedicated 5Gbps USB 3.0 ports to the internal PCI Express slot on your PCIe enabled PC. This independent port architecture improves USB 3.0 performance by transferring data on four individual channels to your computer, giving you faster transfers. Increase Performance with UASP Enhanced with UASP support (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this PCIe to USB adapter card performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, when paired with a UASP supported enclosure. (Note: UASP requires a compatible operating system). Maximize Your Power For high-power USB devices, this PCIe USB 3.0 card includes an optional SATA or LP4 power connector to connect to your system power supply and deliver up to 900mA of power per port to USB 3.0 bus-powered devices (500mA for USB 2.0). This USB 3.0 add on card also supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (Apple Mode only), letting you charge compatible Apple devices (iPhones and iPads) faster than using a standard USB 3.0 port. This USB 3.0 expansion card is backward compatible with existing USB 2.0 / 1.1 devices. For added versatility, the card is equipped with a standard-profile bracket and includes a low-profile (half-height) bracket for installation in small form-factor computers. This USB 3.0 PCI Express card hub is backed by a StarTech..

Review: Perfect for extra VR room sensors - This product came recommended through a few YouTube videos and some online VR forums. I was having problems running more than two sensors with my current usb 3.0 5 port card.. and as it turned out, even though there were 5 ports, only two controllers so there was always a conflict. This card absolutely solved my issue because each port has its own controller so it allowed all my room sensors to run at full speed usb 3.0 capacity. For refer, I am using a 3 sensor setup with an Oculus Rift CV1 setup, two up front on either side of my tv in my living room, and one on the back wall in the center facing down. I played for about two hours to test, and never lost connectivity with any of the sensors. Well worth the price paid to have all my equipment work as it should!
Review: Four Great Dedicated-Bus USB 3.0 Channels Solve My VR Problems - These four dedicated USB 3.0 channels immediately solved all my problems with Virtual Reality (VR). I run both an HTC Vive and an Oculus Rift from the same desktop. Though it is a powerful machine, the USB 3.0 ports left a lot to be desired. With the four dedicated bus USB 3.0 slots provided by this card, both VR sets run flawlessly. I also appreciated the low-profile design, which enabled me to insert the card in a PCI Express slot under the cooling apparatus for my two liquid-cooled GeForce 1080 video cards (a tight fit). Recommend you also get the SATA power connector (a separate purchase), to insure all four USB slots are fully powered. The only potential problem with this card is the horizontal placement of the USB slots (see photo), which makes plugging in cables very difficult. I had to use a small screwdriver to slightly pry up the slot covering on the computer case backplate when plugging in my cables, but this is a price paid for the extremely low profile of the card (vertical slots would necessitate a taller card).

## Features

- HIGH-PERFORMANCE EXPANSION CARD: Increase the efficiency of your USB 3.0 devices with four dedicated USB 3.0 channels and up to 5 Gbps of bandwidth per channel with this 4 port USB 3.0 PCIe card

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this card backwards compatible with PCIE - x1?**
A: Since this question, and the answer by D. Brown were posted in 2014, this listing seems to have changed to include a large variety of individual cards (without giving each its own individual questions), resulting in the confusing associated comments posted years later.

Even the information posted with a specific card is scrambled, as, whith the PEXUSB3S44V card selected, the 'Specifications Sheet' document linked refer to the Model# PEXUSB3S4V card, with the following specifications:

"
4 Port PCI Express PCIe SuperSpeed USB 3.0
Controller Card Adapter with UASP - SATA Power

Connector Type(s) 1 - PCI Express x1 Male
External Ports 4 - USB Type-A (9 pin) USB 3.0 Female
Internal Ports 1 - SATA Power (15 pin) Plug

OS Compatibility:
Windows® XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10
Windows Server® 2003, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016

Note: The maximum throughput of this card is limited by the bus interface. If used with PCI Express Gen 1.0 enabled computers, the max throughput is 2.5 Gbps. If used with PCI Express Gen 2.0 enabled computers, the max throughput is 5 Gbps.
"

While the 'User Manual' linked is for the Model# PEXUSB3S44V card, which has markedly different requirements:

"
4 Port PCI Express USB 3.0 Card with 4
Dedicated Channels - UASP - SATA/LP4 Power

• Available PCI Express x4 or higher (x8, x16) slot
• A SATA or LP4 power connector (optional, but recommended)
• Windows® Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Windows Server® 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, Linux 2.6.31
to 4.4.x LTS versions only
"

Obviously, here, the latter is correct, but, troublingly, given the large number of items included on this page, ALL of the answers and specifications listed are correct, just each for different products that were thoughtlessly merged into a single listing.

**Q: Is this card faster than "standard" USB 3.0 PCI cards, at least enough to justify the price? Or is it's main feature the that it has ind. channels?**
A: Most usb 3.0 cards have once channel that all the ports share, the same as plugging in a USB hub into a one-port card.. This one 4-lane card effectively has 4 conventional 1-lane cards in it. This makes it faster overall when devices are used simultaneously. Assuming the flavor of your expansion slot can handle the bandwidth, that is.

**Q: Would you advise using both LP4 and SATA power connectors?**
A: Hi, We would only recommend one or the other. The PEXUSB3S44V would not receive any extra power if you used both SATA and LP4 at the same time.Thank you, NickStarTech.com Support

**Q: Does it have EFI firmware and boot on a Mac?**
A: Hi,This card does not support Mac operating systems.Let us know if you have any other questions.Thank you, NickCustomer SupportStarTech.com

### ⭐ Great when it wroks
*by I***S on June 19, 2021*

I'm going to be installing my fourth of this card because the first three all failed. I'm hoping this next card does the trick because when this card works, it works incredibly well and is exactly what it's advertised to be. Having four dedicated USB controllers in a single card really helps in certain environments. Basically, what seems to happen is the controllers just burn out and stop passing data. The card will still pass power to your devices but if you try to poll the ports you end up getting errors. And my experience with three separate cards, the issues don't start until about a month or two in and then the ports die one by one over a period of another four weeks. I primarily use this card because VR comes with a lot of USB bandwidth issues with the number of devices that are required for a full body kit. Running SteamVR diagnostics shows the ports come up as "general failure". I've had this happen now with three cards in a row and it seems like there's a couple of other reviews where this has happened as well. Support has been fantastic as they typically just tend to swap the card out but since I've had so many fail now they're trying to point the finger at me (even though nothing else in my system is having even remotely similar issues.) Depending on how support continues and if the next card actually has some staying power I'll update my review.
