Overview

Easily add a USB 3.0 port to your PC



With StarTech.com's ECUSB3S11 USB 3.0 ExpressCard Flush Mount Adapter, add a USB 3.0 port to your laptop through an ExpressCard slot. It offers a unique form factor that allows it to be inserted into your PC's standard 34mm ExpressCard slot without protruding for an invisible addition. The port is almost completely recessed, so you can leave the card installed even when you're on the move, without fear of damage to the card or the slot.


Performance and versatility


The StarTech.com USB 3.0 ExpressCard supports transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s. In addition, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 up to 480 Mb/s or USB 1.1/1.0 up to 12/1.5 Mb/s respectively.

This equipment is backed by StarTech.com's 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.


Improved performance


Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this USB 3.0 controller is 70% faster than a conventional USB 3.0 port when paired with an enclosure with UASP support. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT, UASP optimises transfer by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously, increasing transfer speeds.

UASP is supported on Windows 8, Server 2012 and Linux kernel 2.6.3 or later. Tests show that UASP support gives up to 70% faster read speeds and up to 40% faster write speeds than traditional USB 3.0 at maximum capacity.

    not Linux compatible?

    Despite what is indicated in the technical data sheet and on the manufacturer's website, the card does not work on my Lenovo laptop model T420 running linux (debian with kernel 4.18).
