Hi there! This is the hub I have. It's Renesas based, doesn't require extra power, and is much cheaper relative to other cards out there, which use the same platform.
It will show up as a PCI-e USB controller, and you passthrough the whole thing at once, like you would a GPU or any other similar device. Doesn't need drivers on Linux or Windows, but does not have any MacOS support, if you need that.
I wouldn't bother with "official" Linux support. There are only a few manufacturers of USB3 host controllers and the drivers for all of them are in the modern kernel. Most of the USB card manufacturers (especially the generic China ones) don't list Linux compatibility but the cards usually work just fine.
Before the self-powered cards were available, I had a USB3 card in my Poweredge with a self-made Molex splitter/extension off the DVD drive's power connector.
The selections of self-powered USB 3.0 cards (as opposed to 3.1) is a lot larger.
Will something like this cheap generic card work for your purpose or do you actually need 10Gbps?

I had same issue but i was using my motherboard onboard USB3 (older)...that didn't work, so bought an external powered USB3...didn't work. Ended up buying this USB PCI card...everything worked perfectly:

( I also did the full uninstall/re-install of video card driver software - and update all windows updates)
Good luck!
Went with another expansion card but it fixed my problem. Super thanks bro.
Sure, it's called a PCI express USB 3.0 expansion card. I bought this one and it worked. You'll need to be able to open up your computer and install it in a PCIe (x1-x16) slot.

Sorry for the late update. My server was actually configured with dual 570W PSUs, and I did confirm the P2000 worked in this configuration flawlessly, up until I added a four-port USB 3.0 card to the last PCIe slot I had.
After adding the USB 3.0 the server complained that not enough power was available, and under clocked my CPUs to ~1.6GHz. That's when I upgraded to the 870W PSUs, which haven't given me any issues (other than a bump in my power bill).
Otherwise, I've upgraded this to 96GB of RAM with 2x870W PSUs. As mentioned, I added a USB 3.0 card which pulls all of its power from the PCIe bus. I realized that not having a working battery in my H700 severely reduces its performance, so that's in the mail right now.
I'm doing a lot more work that requires a mid-range graphics card, and the P2000 has been nothing but reliable in this configuration. Highly recommended!

Nearly any USB 3.0 PCIe card should work fine.
Something like this gives you 4 more rear ports: https://www.amazon.com/FebSmart-Self-Powered-Technology-No-Additional-FS-U4-Pro/dp/B072LS4JH7/
Alternatively, if some of your devices don't need the full 5Gbps of
USB 3.0, you can buy a USB 3.0 hub.
If the motherboard has only one internal controller. I suppose for the same price you could just install your own controller.
So I bought this PCIE USB expansion card and installed it yesterday. When I first tried to boot my PC afterwards, it would turn on, all LEDs and everything, then my PSU would immediately make a click noise, then it would shut down. So I took the card back out, then tried to boot and it worked as normal. Reinstalled it, and it booted as normal once again like nothing happened. Any idea why it was having trouble booting originally? I'm new to these expansion cards so I wanted to make sure there wasn't something about them I should know about regarding power or if this was just one of those weird random things that happen every so often.
If your computer has a pcie slot you try something like this maybe.

So cant say if it will work or not. Just a idea.
This card works great for my Oculus sensors when using passthrough and has for months.

Which one did you order? I am trying to decide on one but there is one on Amazon that a guy claims it doesn't work with the rift s.
I'm thinking about getting this one...
