Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 Adapter for Chassis + 4 Port Card

Faster file transfers and USB 3.1 device access at up to 10Gbps throughput can be achieved with this Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter. Create an efficient workstation with extra displays using the DisplayPort output and additional Thunderbolt 3 port. Upgrade your peripherals without having to upgrade your chassis by simply switching out the PCIe card. Assembly and installation require only a screwdriver.

This adapter connects your Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled computer to external USB 3.1 (Gen 2) devices, providing up to 10Gbps throughput. It offers four USB 3.1 ports on two independent bus channels, an additional TB3 port, and a DisplayPort output. The adapter combines the StarTech.com USB 3.1 PCIe card (PEXUSB314A2V) and the TB3 chassis (TB31PCIEX16).

With two host controller chipsets shared across two ports instead of four, this 4-port Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 adapter dedicates up to 10Gbps for each set of two USB ports. This reduces performance bottlenecks and doubles the total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.

Thunderbolt 3 is the fastest connection available, allowing you to accomplish more in the same amount of time by avoiding performance bottlenecks. With 40Gbps of throughput and support for other high-performance PCIe cards, you can swap the card in and out to add the peripherals you need connected to a Thunderbolt 3 desktop or laptop computer.

This Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter can be assembled and connected in minutes, requiring only a Phillips type screwdriver. The TB31PCIEX16 and PEXUSB314A2V are backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty.

The adapter is ideal for connecting your USB legacy and next-generation devices to a Thunderbolt 3 enabled computer, great for file backups, video editing, and data recovery using high-bandwidth USB 3.1 Gen 2 external storage solutions. It is suitable for use with large external storage solutions.
