The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 card features an ASMedia ASM3242 host controller that utilizes x4 lanes of the PCIe 3.0 bus, making the card capable of speeds up to 20Gbps and enabling fast access to high-performance devices like NVMe drives and SSDs. ## Features - HIGH PERFORMANCE: Add 1x USB-C SuperSpeed 20Gbps port to your desktop PC with this USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PCIe Card; Expansion card provides up to 15W (5V @ 3A) to power & charge devices - FULL USB 3.2 GEN 2X2 SPEEDS: Featuring the ASMedia ASM3242 host controller using x4 lanes of PCIe 3.0, this card is fully capable of speeds up to 20Gbps enabling fast access to high-performance devices like NVMe drives and SSDs - MAXIMIZED USB PERFORMANCE: USB Type-C PCI Express card supports Multiple INs to reduce bandwidth loss when mix speed devices are connected to a Hub (hub must also support this feature); UASP support improves performance with storage devices - COMPATIBILITY: Add-on card installs in full or low-profile (bracket incl) PCIe 3.0 x4 slot (Backward compatible w/PCIe 2.0); Windows/Linux/macOS w/auto drivers Win 8 & up; Works w/USB 3.1/3.0/2.0 devices; Does not support DP-Alt mode for video over USB-C ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B08T6FCF9S | | Best Sellers Rank | #25 in Internal USB Port Cards | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built In Media | "PCI Express USB Card Full Profile Bracket (Installed) Low Profile Bracket Quick-Start Guide" | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (253) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express x4 | | Item Dimensions L X W X H | 2"L x 3.1"W x 0.9"H | | Item Weight | 1.28 ounces | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Mfr Part Number | PEXUSB321C | | Model Number | PEXUSB321C | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Operating System | Linux | | Style Name | Classic | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 065030891264 | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express x4 - **Item Weight:** 1.28 ounces - **Product Dimensions:** 2"L x 3.1"W x 0.9"H - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![StarTech 1-Port USB 20Gbps PCIe Card, TAA, Windows/macOS/Linux (PEXUSB321C) | USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Adapter, Data Only, 2x2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61e7msVSRHL.jpg) ![StarTech 1-Port USB 20Gbps PCIe Card, TAA, Windows/macOS/Linux (PEXUSB321C) | USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Adapter, Data Only, 2x2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91a8u7daBbL.jpg) ![StarTech 1-Port USB 20Gbps PCIe Card, TAA, Windows/macOS/Linux (PEXUSB321C) | USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Adapter, Data Only, 2x2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c4UKtqyjL.jpg) ![StarTech 1-Port USB 20Gbps PCIe Card, TAA, Windows/macOS/Linux (PEXUSB321C) | USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Adapter, Data Only, 2x2 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D+TUel4TL.jpg) ![StarTech 1-Port USB 20Gbps PCIe Card, TAA, Windows/macOS/Linux (PEXUSB321C) | USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x 4 Adapter, Data Only, 2x2 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pucpjwufL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Expansion Card *by on Reviewed in the United States July 17, 2026* Excellent expansion card. I just installed on my Asus ROG Strix G16CHR PCIe 4.0 slot and start the computer. Totally plug and play with Windows 11.0. I connected an UGREEN 40Gbps M.2 NVMe Enclosure and it worked perfectly. Between the enclosure and the expansion card, the USB 3.2 gen 2x2 has, of course, the lowest speed, working with 20 Gbps, that is equivalent to 2.5 GB/s. Testing with DiskMark app, I obtained 2055.07 MB/s for reading and 1845.02 MB/s for writing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Gen2x2 *by on Reviewed in the United States May 2, 2026* This card worked right out of the box. Installation was easy and it works in my PCIe 3.0 x4 slot at full bandwidth (of gen2x2, not the full 4 lanes of PCIe gen 3.0). No extra SATA power required like some other cards. I tested a gen2x2 thumb drive and got over 2,050 MB/s read and 1,865 MB/s write. My one gripe is the type C port is a bit high in the PCIe bracket, some cables with thicker housings may come close depending on the cable and your case. To use my Thunderbolt 5 cable (for testing), I had to put a little more pressure than normal for it to read the drive. If the port were slightly more centered then it wouldn't be a problem at all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super speedy. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 21, 2026* Just worked. Easy to install (I panicked because I didn't think I had the right PCIe slot, but it fits in the big one, just doesn't use all of the pins), perfectly compatible without extra drivers in Windows 11. 2x2 is super speedy and was compatible with the drive I needed it for. Very good value. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 1-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PCIe Card, USB-C 20Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x4 Adapter, Data Only, Windows/macOS/Linux, TAA - StarTech.com 2-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe Card, USB-C 10Gbps PCI Express 3.0 x4 Adapter, Data Only, Windows/macOS/Linux, TAA - Cable Matters 20Gbps USB C to USB C Monitor Cable 6 ft / 1.8m, Supports Up to [8K@30Hz / 4K@120Hz Video, 240W Charging, 20Gbps Data Transfer], USB C Video Cable/USB C Display Cable with USB 3.2 Gen 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/276155069-startech-1-port-usb-20gbps-pcie-card-taa-windows-macos](https://www.desertcart.de/products/276155069-startech-1-port-usb-20gbps-pcie-card-taa-windows-macos) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
