IHDAPP PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Expansion Card 5-Port 3C 2A 20Gbps

20 Gbps PCIe USB 3.2 Expansion Card

This PCI Express card adds five external USB ports to a desktop computer through an X4 slot. It provides three USB Type-C ports and two USB 3.2 Type-A ports with a combined 20 Gbps bandwidth. The adapter draws power directly from the motherboard without an external supply. It suits users who need more high-speed ports for peripherals or mobile devices.

Fits X4, X8 or X16 slots.

The card works in any PCI Express X4, X8 or X16 slot and is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices. Windows 10, Mac OS 10.8.2 or later and Linux operate without extra drivers, while Windows 7 requires a driver installation. Builders using Windows 7 or needing display output over USB-C should consider other solutions.

20 Gbps total bandwidth across five ports

The single specification that decides fit is the 20 Gbps aggregate bandwidth shared across the three Type-C and two Type-A ports. Each Type-C port can reach 10 Gbps when used alone, and every port has an independent 2 A power feed with over-current protection. If your workflow demands more throughput than 20 Gbps, this card will not meet it.
