## Summary description

The StarTech.com 4-Port USB PCIe Card offers 4 USB-A ports with independent controllers, supporting USB 3.2 5Gbps for high-speed data transfer. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, it features a full-height/low-profile design. Ideal for expanding connectivity options in desktops.

## Long description

The StarTech.com 4-Port USB PCIe Card adds four USB Type-A ports to a desktop or server via a single PCI Express 2.0 x4 connection, providing high-speed USB 3.2 (5Gbps) connectivity. Each port uses its own host controller chipset so connected devices receive dedicated bandwidth, and the card includes options for supplemental power to support charging when motherboard bus power is limited. The card fits PCIe x4, x8, and x16 slots and is compatible with common operating systems and hardware platforms.
Advantages
Each of the four USB Type-A ports has an independent controller, allowing up to 5Gbps per port and reducing bandwidth contention compared with single-bus USB expansion cards. The card can accept supplemental power via SATA or LP4 connectors to provide higher charging current when needed, and its horizontal full-height/low-profile bracket design improves compatibility with a variety of computer cases and cable orientations. Drivers auto-install on major operating systems, enabling straightforward setup.
Suitable for
Expanding USB connectivity on desktop PCs and rack servers
Connecting multiple USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 devices simultaneously without shared bandwidth limits
Charging phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices when extra power is required
Systems using Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon platforms with available PCIe x4/x8/x16 slots
Key specifications
Interface: PCI Express 2.0 x4 (backward compatible with x8 and x16 slots)
Ports: 4 × USB Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) per port
Host controllers: Four independent USB host controller chipsets (one per port)
Power: Supports supplemental SATA or LP4 power; Battery Charging 1.2 and up to 5V 2A (10W) per port when supplemented
Compatibility: Windows 8 and later, macOS, Linux; Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon platforms
Form factor: Full-height with low-profile bracket included; horizontal port orientation
How to use
Power off the computer and install the card into an available PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot, securing the bracket to the case. If additional power is required for charging or high-current devices, connect a SATA or LP4 power cable from the system power supply to the card. Boot the system and allow the operating system to detect and install drivers automatically. Connect USB Type-A devices to the ports; each device will operate on its own controller and can achieve up to 5Gbps depending on device capability and system configuration.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, install the card in an x4 or larger PCIe slot directly connected to the CPU/chipset and use high-quality USB 3.x cables. When connecting multiple power-hungry devices, use the supplemental SATA or LP4 power input to ensure stable charging and to avoid overloading the motherboard USB bus.
