Add 4 external USB 3.0 ports to a low profile or standard computer, through PCI Express. The PEXUSB3S4V PCI Express USB 3.0 Card (with SATA Power) adds 4 external USB 3.0 ports to any PCI Express-enabled computer system. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps of data bandwidth, while remaining backward compatible with existing USB 2.0 devices at 480Mbps.
Using a "stacked" port layout that places the ports one on top of the other, more ports are able to fit into a smaller space. This 4-port PCIe USB 3.0 adapter enables all four USB 3.0 ports to be external facing, while still allowing the card to fit into a small form factor/low profile computer system.
Plus, with a built-in SATA power connector, each USB port can provide up to 900mA of power to devices that draw power from a host bus connection (500mA for USB 2.0) by connecting to your computer power supply.

Rated 5 out of 5 byGrizGrover from Half Height - PCI Express Card AdapterI have been using the USB 3.0 PCIe card adapter for about 6 months and it installed easily and has worked flawlessly. The half height card bracket came with the kit and enabled me to use it in my ASUSPro Series system unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 byPatM from Works perfectly with ProFlightSim instr. panelsThe price was right, and it is small enough to fit in with my rather large GTX 780Ti graphics card. The Pro Flight Sim instrument panels require USB 3.0 ports; all eight work perfectly with two 4 port StarTech PCIe cards.

Rated 5 out of 5 byGeorge from Great for updating an older PCI've been running this card well over a year and beside having to reinstall the drivers once (power failure) this card has been flawless. My machine only has USB 2.0 ports so the speed upgrade was quite dramatic, I don't think you quite get the full 5gbps as advertised but my external USB drives do outperform my internal SATA II hard drives.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTalwyn from Best for VR!This card works brilliantly for my Oculus Rift (VR). It supports windows 10, but make sure you don't install the old drivers from this website. The new ones are automatically installed by windows 10, and are (at the time of my writing) driverversion 10.0.16299.125, dated 07.12.2017. Make sure your motherboard has enough PCIe-lane bandwidth left for a for x4 card - as well as a x4 slot, of course. Some motherboards downgrade to x1-speed when other slots are taken. Doublecheck your motherboard manual! Also keep in mind to plug in power from your PSU, otherwise the card won't work as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 bypandaman from great but only works sometimesI got it a year ago and it didn't work with my hp but I blame the mobo in that. It works on my main rig so it's stillfunctional as extra USB ports.
