The StarTech.com Advantage
Install half-height/low profile PCI interface cards in a standard PCI Express expansion slot

This PCIe to PCI Adapter Card lets you use low profile PCI expansion cards in a server or desktop motherboard PCI Express slot. Compliant with PCI Express Specification 1.0a and PCI Specification 2.2, the adapter card connects through a PCIe 1x slot to provide a low profile PCI slot in its place. A spare full size bracket for PCI Express card is also included for use in larger desktop or server PCI Express slots.

A versatile solution, the adapter card converts PCIe to PCI or PCI-X; a built-on LP4 power connector links the card to the computer power supply, allowing you to install universal voltage PCI cards (3.3V/5V).

The adapter card offers an economical solution that lets you extend the usability of older or extra PCI Bus cards in newer PCIe capable systems.

To ensure suitable installation, the PCIe/PCI adapter features an innovative bracket design that adapts and secures the low profile PCI or PCI-X card into the converted slot.

The StarTech.com Advantage
The Micro HDMI to VGA with Audio Adapter converts HDMI signals from a portable device, such as a laptop, smart phone or tablet PC to VGA with analog and digital S/PDIF audio.
Add 4 external USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) ports to a low profile or standard computer, through PCI Express

The PEXUSB3S4V PCI Express USB 3.2 Gen 1 Card (with SATA Power) adds 4 external USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports to any PCI Express-enabled computer system with support for data rates up to 5 Gbps, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 / 1.x devices.

Enhanced with UASP support (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB 3.2 Gen 1 controller performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.2 Gen 1 when paired with a UASP supported enclosure (Note: UASP requires a compatible operating system). 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 card uses a "stacked" port layout that places the ports one on top of the other, enabling all four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports to be external facing, while still allowing the card to fit into a small form factor/low profile computer system using the included low profile bracket.

Plus, with a built-in SATA power connector, each USB port can provide up to 900mA of power to devices that draw power from a host bus connection (500mA for USB 2.0) by connecting to your computer power supply.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Improved Performance with UASP

UASP is supported in Windows® 8 and Server 2012. In testing UASP performed with up to a 70% faster read / 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.2 Gen 1 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 3.2 Gen 1 cards, a UASP-enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a SATA III solid state drive.

The StarTech.com Advantage
Add 4 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports to a computer through a PCI slot

The PCIUSB3S4 4-Port PCI to USB 3.0 Card enables legacy PCI slots to support the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard, which is capable of data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. Using USB 3.0 devices with this card will increase data transfer rates with up to 1.3 Gbps of available bandwidth (PCI bus limit) - more than doubling performance compared to a USB 2.0 connection.

This versatile USB 3.0 adapter includes an optional SATA power connector which allows each USB port to deliver up to 900mA of power to connected USB 3.0 devices - suitable for even the most power hungry devices.

A perfect solution for older PCI-based systems or computers with only PCI expansion slots remaining, the card allows those systems to stay relevant and up-to-date with the latest USB technology. The card is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices, so it will not only work with any future USB 3.0 devices, but will also support older devices.

The PCIUSB3S4 4-Port PCI USB 3.0 Card is backed by StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.

The StarTech.com Advantage

- Increased data transfer rates (up to 1.3 Gbps PCI bus limit) with USB 3.0 compatible devices
- Suitable for installation in standard-sized and Small Form Factor computers
- Supports bus-powered USB 3.0 devices
- Easily adds 2 external (eSATA) ports to your PCIe equipped desktop - PCI Express 1-lane (x1) SATA II adapter works with PCI Express slots with different lane width - RoHS compliant - Installs in any available PCI Express slot - Featuring the latest eSATA (external SATA) connectors to provide the most convenient way to add high speed, high capacity hard disk drives - Supports hard disk hot-plugging
