LogiLink USB 3.1 PCI-Express Card 2-port Projekt V

Many desktop systems lack high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, limiting transfer speeds to 5Gbps or lower. The LogiLink OPC80V3 solves this by adding two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports via a PCIe x4 slot, delivering up to 10Gbps per port for fast external SSDs, high-resolution webcams, and other bandwidth-hungry peripherals.
