Super-Powered Ports-Supports USB-C bus-powered SSD, SSD RAID, and hard drive devices with up to 15W (3.0A) power per port Two SuperSpeed USB-C 10Gbps Ports-Adds two USB-C 10Gbps ports to your Mac Pro®, Windows® PC, or Linux® computer with PCIe slots or Thunderbolt™ to PCIe card expansion systemĪmazing Performance-Transfers data up to 960 MB/s from a single drive, and up to 925 MB/s from each of two drives simultaneously The ports communicate with the host that 3A of VBUS current is available, enabling this Sonnet solution to support USB-C bus-powered SSDs and SSD RAID devices that need 15W during demanding write operations.įeaturing the latest high-performance USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller from ASMedia-the ASM 3142-the Allegro USB-C PCIe card supports concurrent data transfers up to 925 MB/s when connected to a two USB-C Gen 2 NVMe SSD devices! Most other cards limit concurrent transfers to half that, a significant disadvantage when time is of the essence.

Sonnet specially engineered the Allegro USB-C card to provide 15W of power through each of its ports. Don’t settle for mediocre performance or insufficient power for the fastest SSDs-install an Allegro USB-C card to instantly add two Gen 2 USB 3.2 ports to your system and take full advantage of today’s SSD performance. The Allegro™ USB-C PCIe (1) card supports data transfers at up to twice as fast as USB 3.0, and can also deliver 15W of power per port to USB-C bus-powered devices (three times the 4.5W specified in the USB 3.0 spec). However, common USB 3.0 ports can be underachievers-at 5Gbps, they can’t support the maximum performance from many storage devices, and may not provide enough power to enable them to operate. When it comes to supporting the fastest USB drives available, your computer’s USB 3.0 ports are perfectly adequate…for connecting peripherals that don’t depend on the ultimate USB 3.2 speeds.
