## Long description

The StarTech.com PEXUSB3S44V is a 4-port USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) PCI Express card that adds four dedicated 5 Gbps USB ports to a PCIe x4-enabled desktop. Each port uses an independent channel to maximize throughput, and the card supports both full-height and low-profile installation options. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices and includes optional SATA or LP4 power input for powering high-draw USB devices.
Advantages
This PCIe USB 3.2 Gen 1 card delivers up to 5 Gbps per port by employing four separate host controller chipsets, effectively providing up to 20 Gbps aggregate bandwidth and reducing performance bottlenecks when multiple devices are connected. It supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for improved read/write performance and lower CPU usage on compatible operating systems. Optional SATA/LP4 power input supplies up to 900 mA per USB 3.x port for bus-powered devices and the card supports USB Battery Charging 1.2 (Apple Mode) for faster charging of compatible Apple devices.
Suitable for
Expanding USB connectivity in a desktop PC with a free PCIe x4 (or larger) slot
High-speed file transfers with external SSDs or RAID enclosures that support UASP
Connecting multiple USB devices without shared-bandwidth performance loss
Small form-factor systems using the included low-profile bracket

How to use
Power off the computer and install the card into an available PCIe x4 (or x8/x16) slot on the motherboard. Secure the card with the bracket screw and, if needed, attach the low-profile bracket for small form-factor cases. If connecting high-power USB devices, attach the optional SATA or LP4 power cable from your power supply to the card to provide up to 900 mA per port. Install the operating system drivers if required; modern versions of Windows and many Linux kernels include native support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 and UASP.
Usage recommendations
For best performance with UASP, use a UASP-capable external enclosure and a compatible OS (Windows 8/8.1/Server 2012 or Linux kernel 2.6.37+). Keep USB cable lengths under 3 m and connect high-speed storage devices directly to the USB 3.x ports while providing external power when using bus-powered drives.
