When multiple devices are connected, traditional single-bus USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards share the maximum bandwidth across all ports. By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on its own independent channel, providing up to 5Gbps to each USB port, reducing performance bottlenecks and effectively quadrupling the total available bandwidth to 20Gbps. This USB PCIe expansion card can receive supplemental power through SATA or LP4 power, providing up to 5V 1.5A (7.5W) on the USB Type-A ports when the bus power from the motherboard is insufficient. The PCI Express USB card drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, and Linux. The expansion card supports hardware platforms such as Intel and AMD, and fits in PCI Express x4, x8, and x16 slots. Horizontal USB ports enhance compatibility with different computer cases, reduce the risk of port clearance issues, and accommodate a wider range of USB devices and cables.

So far, this Startech USB card is working great. The old PCIe card I was using from a different brand (which was around $25) started acting up and causing issues with USB attached devices. After I replaced that old card with this new Startech card, both my USB connected webcam and scanner are now working perfectly.It's expensive, but the quality is there, no doubt. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.Installation under Windows 11 was a breeze. Replaced the old card with this new card (the old was an x1, this new one is x4 so it had to go in a larger pcie slot on my motherboard, thankfully one was open), turned the PC on, and Windows automatically installed everything for me. No problems.
