Unleash Full Speed: Add Four 10Gbps USB-A Ports to Your Workstation
Is your powerful workstation being held back by slow, underpowered USB ports? When you connect modern bus-powered SSDs, you expect lightning-fast speeds, but built-in ports often create a frustrating data bottleneck and fail to supply enough power for stable performance. It's time to stop waiting and unleash your computer's true potential.
Introducing the Sonnet Allegro Pro USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe Card, the definitive performance upgrade for your Mac Pro, Windows PC, or Linux machine. By adding four 10Gbps USB-A ports, this card allows your high-speed drives to perform as they were designed. The secret is its advanced dual-controller architecture, which dedicates a full 10Gbps controller to each pair of ports, ensuring you get maximum speed without sharing bandwidth between all four ports.
Connect a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD RAID and witness incredible data transfer rates up to 800 MB/s—twice as fast as older USB 3.0 cards. Performance remains staggering even with multiple drives. With two drives connected, each port maintains an impressive 660 MB/s. Even with all four ports in use, they sustain a simultaneous 300 MB/s transfer rate, eliminating bottlenecks and dramatically cutting down your transfer times.
Forget fumbling with extra power cables. The Allegro Pro is intelligently engineered to draw all the power it needs directly from the PCIe slot, delivering a robust 7.5W (1.5A) to each of its four ports. This ensures even the most power-hungry bus-powered drives, SSDs, and hubs run smoothly and reliably. We also prioritized the safety of your valuable equipment. Each port features independent power regulation to prevent glitches from causing accidental disconnects, while a resettable fuse on each port protects both the card and your computer from faulty peripherals or cables.
With broad, plug-and-play compatibility and support for Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion systems, the Sonnet Allegro Pro is the ultimate solution for creators, editors, and power users. Install it in minutes and break through the data bottleneck for good.
