Connect USB-A devices to your compatible Windows, Mac, or Linux system using the Allegro 7-Port USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe Card from Sonnet.
Built with a full-height form factor and a PCIe 2.1 x1 interface, this card has seven USB-A ports, six of which are external and one of which is internal. Ports 1, 2, and 3, which are located externally, each receive 5 Gb/s of dedicated bandwidth that is not shared with any other port. Ports 4, 5, and 6, which are located externally, and the one internal port all share a total of 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. When only one active device is connected to one of these ports, it will receive the full 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices, this card features hot pluggable and hot swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration and works with most USB-IF compliant USB peripherals.
Connects 7 USB-A Devices Adds seven USB-A 5 Gb/s ports (six external ports plus one internal port) to your computer, using only one PCIe card slot.
Broad USB Device Support and Compatibility Supports audio interfaces, control pads, microphones, MIDI controllers, mixers, storage, hubs, and other USB-IF compliant devices, with backward compatibility for USB 2.0 devices.
Powered Ports Supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 bus-powered hard drives, SSDs, and other devices with 5W from each port.
Protects Your Computer Resettable device overcurrent fuses protect your computer and the card itself should a cable or peripheral fail.
Convenient Operation Plug in and disconnect peripherals without shutting off your computer.
Easy Installation Quick and easy installation into any available PCIe card slot, plus no driver installation required.
Computer Compatibility Compatible with Mac, Windows, or Linux computers.
USB-A Ports 1, 2, and 3 Ports 1, 2, and 3 each receive a full 5 Gb/s of bandwidth that is not shared with any other port. When higher bandwidth is required for a connected device, it is recommended you connect it to one of these ports for maximum performance.
USB-A Ports 4, 5, and 6 Ports 4, 5, and 6, plus the internal USB-A port share a total of 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. When only one device connected to one of these ports is active, it will receive full bandwidth. Sonnet recommends connecting devices with lower bandwidth requirements to these ports when multiple devices are connected.
Internal USB-A Port This port shares 5 Gb/s of total bandwidth with ports 4, 5, and 6. When only one device connected to one of these ports is active, it will receive the full bandwidth. Sonnet recommends connected devices with lower bandwidth requirements to these ports when multiple devices are connected.
6-Pin PCIe and eSATA Auxiliary Power Connectors When connecting multiple bus-powered devices that will require more than 25W of power together at the same time, connect your computer's 6-pin PCIe or eSATA power connector to one of these connectors.
