Product Overview
Introduction
The SilverStone ECU03 is a USB 3.1 expansion card with external
Type A and Type C connector. It offers 10Gbps bandwidth for
excellent stability and transfer rate when multiple external USB
devices are in use simultaneously. The ECU03 is also backwards
compatible with USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 and supports UASP (USB Attached
SCSI Protocol) for enhanced performance. For operating systems
with XHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface), the ECU03 will
easily install without the need for any drivers because it also supports
XHCI. For those looking to upgrade or add additional USB 3.1 ports
or devices to their computer, the ECU03 is a great starting point.
