Add Four USB-A 5 Gbps Ports

Allegro Type-A USB 3.2 4-Port PCIe Card

4-port, SuperSpeed USB-A 5 Gbps PCIe Card with USB Charging

Up to Ten Times the Performance of USB 2.0

Upgrade to SuperSpeed Performance. Your computer’s USB 2.0 ports are perfectly adequate for connecting mice, keyboards, and printers, but if you need to connect external storage drives, USB 2.0 ports are underpowered in more ways than one — limiting data transfer speeds to around 25–30 MB/s, they can hardly be called “high performance”. Most drives available today include faster USB interfaces and offer significantly better performance than USB 2.0-equipped drives. Though you can connect them to your computer’s USB 2.0 ports, their performance would be reduced by as much as 85 percent. Don’t settle for slow performance, install Allegro Type-A USB 3.2 PCIe 4-Port card to instantly add four USB-A 5 Gbps ports to your system.

PCIe Interface

The Allegro features a PCIe 2.0 bus interface to take advantage of your computer’s fast expansion card slots. This card installs easily into any PCIe slot that supports a full-height card, features hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration, and works with all USB-IF compliant USB peripherals.

Powerful Ports

Sonnet specially engineered the Allegro PCIe card to provide extra power through its ports without the need for you to connect an auxiliary power cable. Delivering up to 10W of power, this Sonnet solution supports USB 3.0 bus-powered devices without the need to connect an additional AC power adapter. The Allegro also supports the USB 3.0 charging specification that enables you to simultaneously charge and sync your iPad, iPhone, or other device that supports USB 3.0 charging.

Add Four USB 3.0 Ports to Older Mac Computers with USB 2.0

Got an older Mac with USB 2.0 ports, no PCIe slots, and a Thunderbolt port? The Allegro is a great way to add four USB-A 5 Gbps ports to a Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion system.

Perfect for the Extra Slot In Your Multi-Slot Thunderbolt System

Have a multi-slot Thunderbolt expansion system with an open slot? Installing an Allegro Type-A USB 3.2 PCIe 4-Port card is an excellent way to inexpensively add four SuperSpeed USB-A 5 Gbps ports to your computer.
