By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on its own independent channel, providing up to 5Gbps to each USB port, reducing performance bottlenecks and effectively quadrupling the total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharge USB Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis USB PCIe expansion card can receive supplemental power through SATA or LP4 connectors. It supports the Battery Charging 1.2 (5V 1.5A) specification and provides up to 5V 2A (10W) on the USB Type-A ports when the bus power from the motherboard is insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe PCI Express USB card drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. The expansion card supports hardware platforms such as Intel, AMD, and Apple Silicon and fits in PCI Express x4, x8, and x16 slots. Horizontal USB ports enhance compatibility with different computer cases, reduce the risk of port clearance issues, and accommodate a wider range of USB devices and cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bind=\"style: { display: templateApplicationDisplayStyle }\" id=\"overview-applications\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bind=\"source: applicationsSource\" data-template=\"templateProductDetailTabApplicationGroup\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e- Upgrade a PCIe-equipped desktop to USB 5Gbps with 4x USB-A ports\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e- Ideal for simultaneously transferring large files or editing photos\/videos on external storage devices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mwave.com.au\/images\/400\/startech_4port_usb_pcie_expansion_card_ac78795_34237.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"StarTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995533787267,"sku":"AC78795","price":187.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6633\/7923\/files\/4port_pscie_card_ac78795_43497.jpg?v=1787798737","url":"https:\/\/www.mwave.com.au\/products\/startech-4port-usb-pcie-expansion-card-ac78795","provider":"Mwave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
