When compared to a laptop, a desktop computer offers several advantages, perhaps the most important is that you can continue to upgrade it over time. So adding more USB ports is a viable option. This is particularly true for someone who needs more and better peripherals, such as gamers or YouTubers who require multiple USB-enabled devices connected at once.

Features

• Quad-core - SIIG's JU-P40811-S1 is designed with four independent controller ICs designated for each USB port, so each port delivers Super-speed data transfer rate up to 5Gbps, not sharing the bandwidth from each other, so the total USB bandwidth is up to 20Gbps. It is ideal for users who need multiple external HDDs connection.
• Industry-recognized chipset - This PCIe card is built with industry-recognized chipset uPD720202 from Renesas for prominent and steady performance.
• For Low Profile - The card is designed with a low-profile bracket, to fit lower size system form factor. It does NOT fit the standard size system form factor.

Benefits

• Widely Supported Speed Ranges - The card supports the following speed data rate as follows: Low-speed (1. 5 Mbps) / Full-speed (12Mbps) / High-speed (480 Mbps) / Super-speed (5Gbps).
• Current Protection - Each USB port featured independent over-current protection to further protect your devices and the board itself from unforeseen power spikes.
• Power Supply - This PCIe card is also equipped with a SATA power connector for high-power USB devices. The power supply is up to 900mA per port to USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and 500mA to USB 2.0 devices.
