Introduction

This StarTech.com SuperSpeed USB 3.0 adapter card enables you to access your data

and transfer ﬁles much faster than USB 2.0! The new USB 3.0 standard supports transfer

rates of up to 5Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0

(480Mbps) and 1.1 (12Mbps) devices. In addition to providing a much faster transfer rate

the PEXUSB3S2 USB 3.0 card also supplies 900mA of power per USB port, allowing for

more external devices to operate without the need of an external power source.
