For convenient installation, this PCI Express USB 3.2 Gen 1 card features a dual-profile design that can be installed in almost any type of computer. It comes equipped with a standard profile bracket and also includes a low-profile bracket for installation in small form-factor/half-height systems.

UASP support for more efficient data transfers

This high-performance USB 3.2 Gen 1 card is enhanced with UASP support, which can perform ~70% faster read speed and ~40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.2 Gen 1, when paired with UASP-enabled enclosure.

The PEXUSB3S42 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Note : UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) is supported in Windows 8.1, 8, Server 2012 and Linux kernel 2.6.37 or later. 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.
