To achieve maximal per-port performance, PCIe-USB380 has four independent NEC/Renesas μPD720202 USB 3.0 Host Controllers and x4 PCI Express® Gen2 interface to fulfill up to 5 Gbps bandwidth for each port when four ports run simultaneously.
Most off-the-shelf USB 3.0 cards implement multiple ports with single USB 3.0 controller, which introduce significant performance degradation for multi-port operation. USB 3.0, or SuperSpeed USB, is an emerging bus technology to deliver ten times of data rate over USB 2.0, and is particularly useful for high-speed data storage and imaging devices.
Neousys PCIe-USB380/340 is an 8-port/4-port USB 3.0 host adapter dedicatedly designed for industrial and vision applications.
