Review: Vantec is hands down the most reliable USB add-on card brand - If you need PCIe add-on USB cards, you can't go past Vantec. I'm an IT professional, I've used pretty much every USB add-on card with a decent brand name on it (and plenty without) - the Vantec cards are hands down the most reliable. I've had USB ports stop responding, burn out, crash the whole OS whenever anything is plugged into them. Mostly, I've seen ports incapable of sustaining the speed they are certified for. If the USB architecture built into Intel chipsets is the gold standard, then Vantec cards get the silver award, and no other brand even rates (because Marvell don't produce add-on cards directly, so manufacturer brand can cause Marvell product quality to vary wildly). Vantec cards provide the highest performance I've seen from non-Intel solutions, with the most stable and reliable operation. I've seen front panel ports that couldn't power a USB3.0 HDD, but they've never failed, burnt out or crashed the OS - they simply don't present the drive to the OS. I've *never* had a Vantec card fail to present a drive connected to a rear panel port. So if I need to add USB ports to a PC, workstation or even server, I insist on Vantec. I even have to import them most of the time, because there is very little local supply. I can say with great confidence that Vantec should be on the top of your shortlist, and even if it was the only brand you even considered, you wouldn't go wrong - that's where I'm at, after spending hundreds of dollars over the last twenty years evaluating various alternative products. Highly recommended. Review: Great as long as you don't install the drivers! - I added this to a ryzen system to have more stable USB for an audio interface without other USB devices causing issues. So far this seems to have worked great, HOWEVER, I found that I had to avoid installing the drivers and use the default Windows drivers instead. Otherwise some devices wouldn't function correctly. The drivers are really only for Windows 7 and below. ## Features - Blazing Fast Transfer Speeds of up to 5Gbps - 10x Faster than USB 2.0 - Four USB 3.0 Ports to Support Multiple Devices - Two External & Two Internal USB 3.0 (20-pin connector) Ports - Supports Hot-Swap: Plug & Play Devices Without Rebooting - Backwards Compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 Devices ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CBNAP54 | | Best Sellers Rank | #196 in Internal USB Port Cards | | Brand | Vantec | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (644) | | Date First Available | December 31, 2015 | | Department | accessories general | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 8 x 2 x 6 inches | | Item Weight | 5 ounces | | Item model number | UGT-PC345 | | Manufacturer | Vantec | | Operating System | All Windows | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 2 x 6 inches | | Series | UGT-PC345 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vantec - **Hardware Interface:** PCIE x 1 - **Style:** USB 3.0, 2A, 20 pins ## Images ![4 Port USB 3.0 PCIe with Internal 20 pin Host Card (UGT-PC345) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IKvmwZlaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vantec is hands down the most reliable USB add-on card brand *by T***Y on May 22, 2017* If you need PCIe add-on USB cards, you can't go past Vantec.

So far this seems to have worked great, HOWEVER, I found that I had to avoid installing the drivers and use the default Windows drivers instead. Otherwise some devices wouldn't function correctly. The drivers are really only for Windows 7 and below. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for oculus Quest 2 *by L***Y on April 9, 2021* So there I was with a new Oculus Quest 2 in hand. Hooked it up to my desktop pc, and only got a few hours of playtime before my headset died. So I got on Amazon and found this slim usb-c card and picked one up, since it looked to be a great price. Plopped that baby right in my pci-e slot and my headset now has infinite power while hooked to my desktop. Windows 10 (may 2020 update) detected the device and set it up without need of the driver CD. For those using slim cases, this card also includes a swappable faceplate for low profile pc's. For, reference, the card, I got had one USB-C port and one USB-A port, and is powered via a SATA power connector that attaches to the board for a constant power feed to usb devices. Highly recommend this for new quest 2 owners who have an existing usb-c port that doesn't feed enough power to keep the headset charged! ## Frequently Bought Together - Vantec 4 Port USB 3.0 PCIe with Internal 20 pin Host Card (UGT-PC345) - Excelity 2 Ports USB 3.0 Front Panel Floppy Disk Bay 20 Pin Hub Bracket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3565633-4-port-usb-3-0-pcie-with-internal-20-pin](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3565633-4-port-usb-3-0-pcie-with-internal-20-pin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
