Sonnet USB3C-1M20G-E Overview
Add one 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port to your compatible Windows, Mac, or Linux system using the Allegro Max 1-Port USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 PCIe Card from Sonnet. Built with a PCIe interface that receives bus power from your host system, this card is hot swappable and provides up to 15W (3A) of power to connected devices. In order to better protect this card and your computer, there is a device overcurrent fuse that may be reset simply by restarting your system. This card may also be used in Thunderbolt expansion systems, including Sonnet's Echo line of desktop and rackmount chassis.
Please note that this card requires macOS 14.4 or later, Windows 10 or 11, or Linux Kernel 5.4 or later.
Power Advantages
The Allegro Max card has the following advantages:
- Delivers 15W of power to USB-C bus-powered devices
- Doesn't require an auxiliary power plug connection; gets the power required to operate connected drives from the slot it's installed in
- Features a resettable fuse, protecting both card and computer should a cable or peripheral fail; resetting a tripped fuse is simple - just shut down and restart your computer

The Allegro Max card supports data transfers at up to 20 Gb/s, which is twice the speed of a USB 3.2 Gen 2 card (10 Gb/s) and can also deliver 15W of power to USB-C bus-powered devices.
