The StarTech PEXUSB3S2EI provides a straightforward method to add two USB 3.0 ports to a desktop computer. This is particularly useful for systems that lack sufficient front or rear USB ports, or for expanding connectivity for high-bandwidth peripherals like external SSDs, high-resolution webcams, or capture devices. It connects via a PCI Express x1 slot, offering a 5 Gbps data transfer rate per port, ensuring that connected devices operate at their intended speeds. The card supports standard profile installations and includes a low-profile bracket for compact computer cases.
This PCIe card is compatible with any motherboard featuring an available PCI Express x1 slot or a larger PCIe slot (x4, x8, x16). It requires an internal USB 3.0 header connection to the motherboard for power and data. Operating system compatibility includes Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP, as well as macOS 10.9 and later. It is designed to work with standard USB 3.0 devices.
Installation involves opening the computer case, locating an available PCIe x1 slot, and securing the card. A crucial step is connecting the internal 20-pin USB 3.0 header cable from the card to the corresponding header on the motherboard. Ensure the motherboard has sufficient clearance for the card's physical dimensions (3.6 in. x 0.7 in.). The operating temperature range is 5°C to 50°C (41°F to 122°F), suitable for most standard office environments.
