Reddit mentions of Mailiya PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Expansion Card and 15-Pin Power Connector, Mini PCI-E USB 3.0 Hub Controller Adapter with Internal 20-Pin Connector - Expand Another Two USB 3.0 Ports

You can get a card like this one https://www.amazon.com/Mailiya-Expansion-Connector-Controller-Internal/dp/B01LZWC7TL/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1517720223&sr=1-4&keywords=usb+3+card&dpID=51WkMwFX7sL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Can convert from sata, m.2 is a pain(you go to pcie, then that card)

Yea, killed my USB port accidentally running 110 volts down it. This was the best solution. USB Card

You don't need a $100 solution. You mainly need the pcie card for extra USB bandwidth. This will be more than enough for your needs at a reasonable price.

It seems to happen while playing video games. I'm not sure what exactly is up. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a PCI usb hub that I bought. I've tried reseating it too.

This is the PCI card is question. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZWC7TL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Has anyone here used this USB 3.0 card successfully? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LZWC7TL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491438078&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usb+3.0+pci+card&psc=1
I will attempt to install it tonight and run the compatibility tool but I am unfortunately stuck at work for the next few hours and was hoping to get some info. Any replies are greatly appreciated! Can't wait to get lost in the rift :) will be purchasing mine this Friday

Yeah I was looking into those adapters. They seems the best possible route so far. But if there is another way to get those 2 ports properly working at 3.0 speeds. I'd appreciate it.


I'd been searching on Amazon and I've found one that includes a JUSB3 port on the PCI card. But I'm unsure if it would even work if I simply just connect my front USB 3.0 header to it and just plug the PCI card into the PCI slot.

Here a link to it:

This seems rather promising. But still unsure if this can work. If not I'll pick up the JUSB2 to JUSB3 adapter.

Just make sure you use the sata power, or you'll get drops.

I got one of those. I don't think I have the power cables/adapters for it anymore tho. Lemme kno if youd be interested for 15 shipped. I cant give timestamps atm as Im out of the country. Can provide those Sunday night.

The power cable isnt necessary for the card to work, but devices will charge very slowly from the ports without the power cable connected.

Thanks for the info! I’ll start that setup right when I get out of work later today. I do only have 1 plot per drive. Those other plots were from computer space. Would you recommend me upgrading my processor?
