The SilverSone SST-ECU03 is a PCI-E 2.0 x2 to USB 3.1 expansion card. It provides a simple solution for adding two SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen2 ports (one Type-A port & one Type-C port) to your computer via a PCI-E 2.0 x2 interface.

It offers 10Gbps bandwidth for blazing-fast transfer rate and excellent stability even when two external USB devices are in use simultaneously. It supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for enhanced performance, so you can get more work done in less time. It’s also backwards compatible with USB 3.1 Gen1/USB 3.0 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 (480Mbps and USB 1.1 (12Mbps) specifications.
