Press Release | USB 3.0 Overview

Overview
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 offers ten times greater bandwidth than USB 2.0, enabling dramatically faster access to external storage and mobile storage devices. The Atomix PX allows any desktop computer with an available PCIe slot to be upgraded to USB 3.0. Within just a few minutes you can upgrade your PC with two SuperSpeed ports that support lightning fast access to USB 3.0 peripherals. These USB ports are also backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices, so all your existing USB peripherals will still work in these ports.

If you run large backups regularly through a USB 2.0 backup drive, or if you do lots of video editing and need faster throughput to move those big files in a fraction the time the Atomix PX will give you the bandwidth you need to support USB 3.0 devices without buying a new computer.

Features
- Fits in any standard PCI Express x4 slot
- Two USB 3.0 ports
- NEC host controller
- 4-pin power connector to support power hungry peripherals
- 1-Year warranty

Compatibility
The Atomix PX has an industry standard x4 PCIe host interface and will work in virtually any PC with an available PCIe slot. The two USB 3.0 ports support USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.
