Sonnet Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card
Sonnet Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is a professional PCIe 3.0 x8 card that allows you to add up to eight USB-C 3.2 ports with a bandwidth of 10 Gb/s each. The card is 100% compatible with Apple Mac computers and computers running Windows and Linux. The Sonnet Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is compatible with the Thunderbolt standard and can be used in external PCIe to Thunderbolt enclosures.
8 professional USB-C gen 3.2 ports
each with maximum performance and transfer up to 10 Gb/s.
The Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is the first pro PCIe adapter card with eight external USB-C ports, four USB 3.2 controllers and an x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip
Even on computers with multiple PCIe slots, each slot is valuable - you may not have room to install two 4-port USB-C cards. The Sonnet Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is the first PCIe card to feature eight high-performance USB-C ports. The card fits perfectly into a standard single full height PCIe slot. The ports are arranged to allow you to connect eight cables (and even USB-C male to USB-A female adapters).
Why Sonnet? Many multi-port USB cards divide the bandwidth of a single USB controller between their ports, limiting performance when two or more devices are connected and running. When installed in a PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slot on your computer, the Sonnet card delivers full 10 Gbps bandwidth to each of the eight ports, ensuring maximum performance from each of them.
Simultaneous transfers at high speeds of
10Gbps from every port!
Many multi-port USB adapters are simple hubs that divide the bandwidth of a single USB controller between all of its ports, which limits their performance when two or more devices are connected and operating simultaneously.
When installed in a PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slot on your computer, the Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Adapter supports eight simultaneous 10 Gb/s transfers. Perfect for transferring data from multiple drives to your computer (and drive to drive) - data transfers from a single USB 3.2 NVMe SSD device at speeds of up to 1000 MB/s. Compared to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 adapter card, transfers take half the time!
Created for maximum speed!
Advanced bandwidth management architecture.
Thanks to its advanced architecture, the Allegro Pro 8-port USB-C PCIe card can deliver full 10 Gb/s bandwidth to each of its ports. This is achieved by providing each USB controller with access to two PCIe 3.0 lanes via an x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, and by implementing advanced data traffic management to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks.
Providing full PCIe bridging bandwidth to four controllers and eliminating bandwidth congestion, this Sonnet card is the highest performing PCIe USB 3.2 Gen 2 card ever created.
