Sonnet USB3C-2PM-E interface cards/adapter Internal USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen
When it comes to supporting the fastest USB drives available your computers USB 3.0 ports are perfectly adequate for connecting peripherals that dont depend on the ultimate USB 3.1 speeds. However common USB 3.0 ports can be underachieversat 5Gbps they cant support the maximum performance from many storage devices and may not provide enough power t... moreo enable them to operate. You need SuperSpeed+ USB. You need Sonnets Allegro USB-C PCIe card.
The Allegro USB-C PCIe supports data transfers at up to twice as fast as USB 3.0 and can also deliver 15W of power per port to USB-C bus-powered devices (three times the 4.5W specified in the USB 3.0 spec). Dont settle for mediocre performance or insufficient power for the fastest SSDsinstall an Allegro USB-C card to instantly add two Gen 2 USB 3.1 ports to your system and take full advantage of todays SSD performance.
Speed and Power
Sonnet's Allegro USB-C PCIe computer card supports data transfers up to 960 MB/s when connected to a USB-C Gen 2 SSD RAID devicetransfers complete in half the time compared with using a USB 3.0 2.5-inch SSD! Sonnet specially engineered the Allegro USB-C card to provide 15W of power through each of its ports. The ports communicate with the host that 3A of VBUS current is available enabling this Sonnet solution to support USB-C bus-powered SSDs and SSD RAID devices that need 15W during demanding write operations.
Regulates Power to Each Port
Ordinary USB-C adapter cards deal with power delivered through the ports as an afterthought requiring an additional power source for the card and providing little regulation. The Allegro USB-C PCIe is no ordinary adapter card. The Allegro card regulates its own power without requiring a back-of-the card power cable connection thus enabling full compatibility in any computer or Thunderbolt expansion chassis that doesnt have these power connectors available.
Sonnets Allegro USB-C is unique in regulating power to each port independently giving each one protection from power glitches on the adjacent port. Without this protection (such as found on an ordinary card) connects and disconnects of one device may cause auto-disconnects of the other.
Resettable Fuses
The Allegro USB-C card features a resettable fuse on each port to protect the card and computer should there be a cable or peripheral failure. Should a fuse trip on the Sonnet card you can reset it simply by shutting down the computer.
PCIe Auto-Negotiation
Sonnet's Allegro USB-C PCIe features PCI Express auto-negotiation. The card automatically negotiates to a x1 data link in a PCIe 3.0 slot and to a x2 link in a PCIe 2.0 slot giving full bandwidth to both generations of PCIe slots ensuring great performance in any configuration.
Optimized for Thunderbolt
Got a Thunderbolt connection but no PCIe slot? The Allegro USB-C PCIe card is ideal for use in any Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe card expansion chassis including Sonnets Echo Express or xMac Thunderbolt to
