Connect USB-A devices to your compatible Windows, Mac, or Linux system using the Allegro 7-Port USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe Card from Sonnet. Built with a full-height form factor and a PCIe 2.1 x1 interface, this card has seven USB-A ports, six of which are external and one of which is internal. Ports 1, 2, and 3, which are located externally, each receive 5 Gb/s of dedicated bandwidth that is not shared with any other port. Ports 4, 5, and 6, which are located externally, and the one internal port all share a total of 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. When only one active device is connected to one of these ports, it will receive the full 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices, this card features hot pluggable and hot swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration and works with most USB-IF compliant USB peripherals.

Powered Ports
Supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 bus-powered hard drives, SSDs, and other devices with 5W from each port.
Protects Your Computer
Resettable device overcurrent fuses protect your computer and the card itself should a cable or peripheral fail.
Convenient Operation
Plug in and disconnect peripherals without shutting off your computer.

USB-A Ports 1, 2, and 3
Ports 1, 2, and 3 each receive a full 5 Gb/s of bandwidth that is not shared with any other port. When higher bandwidth is required for a connected device, it is recommended you connect it to one of these ports for maximum performance.
USB-A Ports 4, 5, and 6
Ports 4, 5, and 6, plus the internal USB-A port share a total of 5 Gb/s of bandwidth. When only one device connected to one of these ports is active, it will receive full bandwidth. Sonnet recommends connecting devices with lower bandwidth requirements to these ports when multiple devices are connected.
Internal USB-A Port
This port shares 5 Gb/s of total bandwidth with ports 4, 5, and 6. When only one device connected to one of these ports is active, it will receive the full bandwidth. Sonnet recommends connected devices with lower bandwidth requirements to these ports when multiple devices are connected.
6-Pin PCIe and eSATA Auxiliary Power Connectors
When connecting multiple bus-powered devices that will require more than 25W of power together at the same time, connect your computer's 6-pin PCIe or eSATA power connector to one of these connectors.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
