Product Description
- When it comes to supporting the fastest USB drives available. your computer’s USB 3.0 ports are perfectly adequate… for connecting peripherals that don’t depend on the ultimate USB 3.1 speeds.
- However. common USB 3.0 ports can be underachievers—at 5Gbps. they can’t support the maximum performance from many storage devices. and may not provide enough power to enable them to operate.
- You need SuperSpeed+ USB.
- You need Sonnet’s Allegro USB-C PCIe card.
- The Allegro™ USB-C PCIe supports data transfers at up to twice as fast as USB 3.0. and can also deliver 15W of power per port to USB-C bus-powered devices (three times the 4.5W specified in the USB 3.0 spec).
- Don’t settle for mediocre performance or insufficient power for the fastest SSDs—install an Allegro USB-C card to instantly add two Gen 2 USB 3.1 ports to your system and take full advantage of today’s SSD performance.
- Speed and PowerSonnet's Allegro USB-C PCIe computer card supports data transfers up to 960 MB/s when connected to a USB-C Gen 2 SSD RAID device—transfers complete in half the time compared with using a USB 3.0 2.5-inch SSD! Sonnet specially engineered the Allegro USB-C card to provide 15W of power through each of its ports.
- The ports communicate with the host that 3A of VBUS current is available. enabling this Sonnet solution to support USB-C bus-powered SSDs and SSD RAID devices that need 15W during demanding write operations.
- Regulates Power to Each PortOrdinary USB-C adapter cards deal with power delivered through the ports as an afterthought. requiring an additional power source for the card and providing little regulation.
- The Allegro USB-C PCIe is no ordinary adapter card.
- The Allegro card regulates its own power without requiring a back-of-the card power cable connection. thus enabling full compatibility in any computer or Thunderbolt expansion chassis that doesn’t have these power connectors available.
- Sonnet’s Allegro USB-C is unique in regulating power to each port independently. giving each one protection from power glitches on the adjacent port.
- Without this protection (such as found on an ordinary card). connects and disconnects of one device may cause auto-disconnects of the other.
- Resettable FusesThe Allegro USB-C card
- a resettable fuse on each port to protect the card and computer should there be a cable or peripheral failure.
- Should a fuse trip on the Sonnet card. you can reset it simply by shutting down the computer.
- PCIe Auto-NegotiationSonnet's Allegro USB-C PCIe
- PCI Express auto-negotiation.
- The card automatically negotiates to a x1 data link in a PCIe 3.0 slot. and to a x2 link in a PCIe 2.0 slot. giving full bandwidth to both generations of PCIe slots. ensuring great performance in any configuration.
- Optimized for ThunderboltGot a Thunderbolt connection. but no PCIe slot? The Allegro USB-C PCIe card is ideal for use in any Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe card expansion chassis. including Sonnet’s Echo Express™ or xMac™ Thunderbolt to PCI Express card expansion systems. offering full performance wherever you install it—now you can add dual USB-C ports in any current Sonnet Thunderbolt chassis.
- Easy InstallationThis Allegro USB-C PCIe card installs easily into any PCIe x4 (mechanical) slot; both low-profile and full-height mounting brackets are included.
- The Sonnet card
- hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration. and works with all USB-IF compliant USB peripherals.
