SpecificationsMini PCI-Express USB3.0 Card (4x USB3.0, Renesas)

Introduction

This Mini PCI-Express 2.0 USB 3.0 Host Controller Card complies with the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification revision 1.0 and PCI Express Generation 2 specification. The Super Speed USB 3.0 standard, operating at 5 Gbps full-duplex mode, is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) standard. The product is also backward compatible with current USB 2.0 devices running at High-Speed (480 Mbps), Full-Speed (12 Mbps), and Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps) modes. This product is an ideal choice for any PCI-Express expansible embedded or micro system needing for larger volume and higher speed data transfer connectivity with USB devices, such as external Hard Disk Drive, Solid State Drive (SSD), optical drive, high definition video camera, etc
