IFC-PCIE4U3S

Consumers are using more devices featuring the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. BUFFALO's IFC-PCIE4U3S PCI-Express Interface Board provides four USB 3.0 ports to keep more devices connected. USB 3.0 offers transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps* for much faster transfer and backups and better performance from connected devices. The ports are also backward compatible with USB 2.0. The PCI-Express connection means the card fits easily, and the ports allow connection of USB 3.0 external HDD, USB flash memory, SSD, and other USB devices at the same time.

Upgrade your desktop computer to faster USB 3.0 interface

USB 3.0 transfers data at rates more than ten times that of USB 2.0 (5 Gbps* vs. 480 Mbps). This speeds up backup and transfer of photos, music, videos, documents, and other important data. The faster transfer rate also improves the performance of other peripheral devices like scanners and media players, and other peripheral devices supporting USB 3.0. A great solution to upgrade your current PC for use with SuperSpeed USB 3.0.

Equipped with 4 USB 3.0 ports

Each port enables connection of one USB 3.0 device, thus allowing up to a total of four devices such as external HDDs, USB flash memory, SSDs and wireless LAN adapters to be connected simultaneously. This decreases the need to purchase hubs for additional ports and reduces the hassle of constantly disconnecting and reconnecting various devices' USB cables.
