StarTech 1-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps Type-C PCI Express Card
StarTech USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PCIe card with one USB Type-C port, up to 20Gbps data transfer and 15W USB-C power output for desktop PCs.
StarTech 1-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps Type-C PCI Express Card adds a single USB Type-C port to a desktop PC, supporting data transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps. It is suited to connecting high-speed external storage drives, docks, and other peripherals that require high bandwidth.
Overview
At the heart of the card is the ASMedia ASM3242 controller, which uses four lanes of PCI Express 3.0. For optimal 20Gbps performance, installation into a PCIe 3.0 x4, x8, or x16 slot is recommended, although the card remains compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots. The card supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), which can reduce latency and CPU utilisation during data transfers when used with compatible devices and operating systems.
