Back up photos, music, and HD movies to external drives at data transfer rates up to 600MB/s.

The VisionTek USB 3.0 PCIe 4-Port Expansion Card lets you easily harness the power of your computer's fast PCI Express card slots to add four SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports for external drive data transfers up to 600MB/s.* That's nearly 10x faster than USB 2.0! Besides getting a massive speed boost, the VisionTek Expansion Card's four ports are bus-powered so most drives can be used without their bulky, unsightly power adapters. And for further convenience, the card also supports hot-swappable storage connections. Add and disconnect external drives and other USB 3.0 devices as you please!

*600MB/s speed is maximum bus speed of USB 3.0. Actual speed will vary depending on drive or device connected to card and type of PCIe slot card is installed into.
