PCI to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Host Adapter 4 Port I/O Flex PU430
The I/O Flex PU430 PCI to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Host Adapter 4 Port brings new life to older desktop computers by providing them SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity. The PCI card adapter is fully backward compatible with existing USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, and connects with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures, SSD enclosures, backup RAIDS, video converters, printers, and hundreds of other devices while enabling the use of high performance device that were once reserved only for high speed buses like eSATA and FireWire. Able to offer most of the usable bandwidth of SuperSpeed USB, the PU430 is limited to a maximum of 2.133Gbps transfer rates [1] because of the limitations of PCI. However, that's an amazing improvement over USB 2.0, and the PU430 PCI USB 3.0 solution provides over twice (200+%) the performance gain over on-board USB 2.0, and is only 30% slower than the maximum speed USB 3.0 can achieve in PCI-Express (PCIe) slots.
The adapter provides four (4) external USB 3.0 ports. The I/O Flex PU430 PCI to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Host Adapter features both 15-pin SATA power connector and mini 4-pin power connector for added power source to better support power hungry bus-powered devices. Easy USB installation makes adding new hardware a breeze, with no complex configuration, confusing plug-ins, or IRQs. Connect up to 127 USB products to PCs. Ready for use with self-powered devices, or plug any available 15-pin SATA Power Connector into the onboard connecter for devices requiring bus power.

Benchmarks
The PU430 PCI USB 3.0 solution provides over twice (200+%) the performance gain over on-board USB 2.0, and is only 30% slower than the maximum speed USB 3.0 can achieve in PCI-Express (PCIe) slots
Support
- NOTES
- [1] PCI 2.x and 3.x slots will max out at 2.133Gbps. To meet available maximum transfer speed, high quality USB 3.0 cables and devices are required
- [2] Make sure the power is well connected, otherwise you will see a "Power Surge on Hub Port" message error and no 5V bus power in USB ports.
