The PEXUSB3S24 2-Port PCI
Express USB 3.0 Card lets you add two USB 3.0 ports to your
PCI Express-enabled computer system, with an optional SATA
power connector to connect to your system power supply and
deliver up to 900mA of power per port to USB 3.0 bus-powered
devices (500mA for USB 2.0).
Enhanced with UASP support (USB
Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB 3.0 controller performs up
to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP
supported enclosure (Note: UASP is not supported by all
operating systems). Using a more efficient protocol than the
traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP technology
optimizes transfers by allowing multiple commands to be
processed simultaneously, significantly increasing transfer
speeds for less wait time on data transfers. See our UASP test
results below for further details.
The PCIe USB 3.0 adapter is
compliant with USB 3.0 standards for data transfer speeds up
to 5 Gbps, while still offering backward compatibility with
existing USB 2.0 / 1.1 devices. For added versatility, the
controller card is equipped with a standard profile bracket
and includes a low-profile/half-height bracket for
installation in small form-factor computers.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year
warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Improved Performance with UASP
UASP is supported in Windows�
8, 8.1, Server 2012 and Linux kernel 2.6.37 or later. In
testing UASP performed with up to a 70% faster read / 40%
faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak
performance.
At the same peak in testing,
UASP also showed up to an 80% reduction in required processor
resources.
Test results were obtained
using an Intel� Ivy Bridge system, StarTech.com add-on USB
3.0 cards, a UASP-enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a SATA
III solid state drive.
