Add four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports to your compatible computer with the Allegro 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C PCIe Card from Sonnet. Equipped with dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 controllers and capable of up to 20 Gb/s of total data throughput, this PCIe 2.0 x4 card can supply up to 7.5W of power per port to connected hard drives, SSDs, and other supported USB Type-C devices. The card is compatible with select versions of Windows, Mac, and Linux.
General Features
Speed and Power
Sonnet s Allegro USB Type-C 4-Port PCIe computer card supports data transfers from a single USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD RAID device at up to 800 MB/s. With its dual-controller design, the card can simultaneously transfer data to two connected drives at up to 660 MB/s each. With four drives connected, the four ports support simultaneous 300 MB/s transfers. The card provides 7.5W of power through each of its ports, supporting USB bus-powered hard drives and SSDs without the need to connect an additional AC power adapter.
No Auxiliary Power Required
Ordinary USB Type-C cards need a separate power plug connection. Sonnet s 4-port USB Type-C card gets the power required to operate connected drives from the slot in which it s installed. This allows you to install the Sonnet card in any compatible computer or Thunderbolt expansion chassis without worrying about the availability of extra power connectors.
Independent, Per-Port Power Regulation
Typical USB Type-C cards can deliver poor power regulation, allowing a connected drive to be forced off (auto-disconnected) when an additional drive is connected or disconnected. The Allegro card is designed to protect each port from power glitches on adjacent ports, which helps to prevent auto-disconnects.
Resettable Fuses
The Allegro card features a resettable fuse on each port that s designed to protect both card and computer should a cable or peripheral fail. Resetting a tripped fuse is simple: just shut down and restart your computer.
Optimized for Thunderbolt
Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe slot? The Allegro USB-C 4-Port PCIe card is ideal for use in Sonnet s optional Thunderbolt 2- and Thunderbolt 3-to-PCIe card expansion systems, including Echo Express and xMac desktop and rackmount chassis, allowing you to add four SuperSpeed+ USB Type-C ports to your computer without expansion card slots.
Broad Device Support, Easy Installation
The Allegro USB Type-C 4-Port PCIe card features hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration, and works with most USB-IF-compliant USB peripherals. This full-height Sonnet card installs easily into most PCIe x4 (mechanical) or larger slots.
