Renkforce 1195033 -PCIe USB 3.0 -ohjainkortti — 6 USB 3.0 -porttia + 1 sisäinen portti

The Renkforce PCIe USB 3.0 Controller Card adds six external USB 3.0 ports and one internal USB 3.0 header to a desktop PC via a PCIe expansion slot. It enables significantly faster data transfer compared with USB 2.0 and expands the number of available high-speed ports for connecting external storage, peripherals and accessories. The card is designed for straightforward installation in standard PCIe slots and supports plug-and-play operation on compatible systems.

Advantages

This PCIe USB 3.0 controller provides multiple high-speed ports on a single expansion card, reducing the need for external hubs. The inclusion of an internal USB 3.0 header allows connection of front-panel bays or internal accessories. By using USB 3.0 bandwidth, the card improves file transfer speeds for external SSDs and HDDs compared with older USB standards. The compact bracket design fits standard desktop PC cases and the card operates with common operating systems that include USB 3.0 host controller support.

Suitable for

• Expanding USB connectivity on desktop computers
• Connecting external HDDs and SSDs for fast backups and transfers
• Attaching multiple USB peripherals such as printers, scanners, and cameras
• Connecting front-panel USB 3.0 ports or internal card readers via the internal header

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x1 compatible slot
• External ports: 6 × USB 3.0 Type-A ports (SuperSpeed USB, up to 5 Gbps theoretical)
• Internal port: 1 × USB 3.0 internal header for chassis front panel or internal devices
• Backward compatibility: USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices supported at lower speeds
• Form factor: Low-profile/standard bracket compatible with desktop PC cases
• Power: May require additional system power for multiple high-draw devices (via internal power connector if present)

How to use

Power off the computer and unplug it from the mains. Open the PC case following the manufacturer’s instructions, locate an available PCIe x1 slot and insert the controller card firmly into the slot. Secure the card with the case screw and, if required, connect any internal power cable or the internal USB header to the front panel or internal device. Close the case, reconnect power and boot the system. Install drivers if the operating system does not automatically recognize the controller; consult the card documentation or the system driver manager for driver installation steps. Once installed, connect USB devices to the external Type-A ports or to the internal header as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, connect high-performance storage devices directly to the USB 3.0 external ports and avoid daisy-chaining multiple high-bandwidth devices on a single port. If using several power-hungry devices simultaneously, ensure the PC’s power supply can support the additional load and, if available, connect the card’s auxiliary power connector. Keep system chipset and host controller drivers up to date to maintain compatibility and performance.
