StarTech PEXUSB3S4V 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCI Express USB Expansion Card

The StarTech PEXUSB3S4V is a 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe expansion card for desktop computers. It connects directly to the motherboard via a PCI Express 2.0 interface. Each port supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, offering data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s. The card is designed for systems that require additional high-bandwidth ports for external storage or specialized peripherals and provides a more stable connection than standard external USB hubs.

The rear bracket features four USB Type-A ports. An internal SATA connector draws power directly from the system's power supply, ensuring consistent power for high-draw devices that might exceed standard PCIe slot power limits. The card is compatible with Windows versions ranging from Windows XP to Windows 8 but does not support macOS. Included drivers facilitate installation on supported Windows systems.

• UASP support — improves data transfer efficiency for compatible external solid-state drives.
• NEC uPD720201 chipset — manages controller logic for all four Type-A ports.
• Windows Server 2019 and 2016 support — suitable for deployment in enterprise server environments.
• 45 g weight — a lightweight design that reduces physical stress on the host slot.
• 68 mm x 19 mm x 75 mm dimensions — fits within standard desktop expansion card profiles.
