UASP support for more efficient data transfers
This high-performance USB 3.0 card is enhanced with UASP support, which can perform ~70% faster read
speed and ~40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0, when paired with UASP-enabled enclosure.
The PEXUSB3S42 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-
year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Note: UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) is
supported in Windows 8.1, 8, Server 2012 and
Linux kernel 2.6.37 or later. Test results were
obtained using an Intel® Ivy Bridge system,
StarTech.com add-on USB 3.0 cards, a UASP-
enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a SATA III
solid state drive.
