Sonnet’s Allegro™ Pro USB-C® 8-Port PCIe Card is the first adapter card ever to feature eight high performance USB-C ports, fitting them neatly on a standard full-height PCIe card bracket. Ports are spaced to enable connection of eight cables (and even USB-C male to USB-A female adapters).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhy Sonnet? Many multi-port USB cards split a single USB controller’s bandwidth among their ports, limiting performance when two or more devices are connected and operating. When installed in a computer’s PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slot, Sonnet’s card provides full 10Gbps bandwidth to every one of its eight ports, ensuring maximum performance from each one.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight USB-C 10Gbps Ports \u003c\/strong\u003e- Ports are spaced to enable connection of eight cables (and even USB-C to USB-A adapters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour USB 3.2 Gen 2 Controllers \u003c\/strong\u003e+ PCIe 3.0 Bridge Chip - x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, four independent USB 3.2 controllers controlling a pair of ports each, can concurrently deliver full 10Gbps bandwidth through each port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Power Delivery \u0026amp; Management \u003c\/strong\u003e- Independent, per-port power regulation–prevents power glitches that cause auto-disconnects of already-connected drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Most Capable 10Gbps USB Card - USB SSD Nirvana\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eEquipped with NVMe SSDs, the fastest USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives available can transfer data at incredible speeds. Chances are your computer has few ports capable of supporting their full performance. Upgrade your workflow in a major way by installing Sonnet’s Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card in your Mac Pro®, Windows, or Linux computer; or Echo™ III Thunderbolt™ to PCIe card expansion system to support up to eight NVMe USB drives at maximum performance, no power adapters needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Speed Simultaneous Transfers - 10Gbps from Every Port!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eMany multi-port USB cards are simple hubs that split a single USB controller’s bandwidth between all its ports, which limits their performance when two or more devices are connected and operating. When installed in a computer’s PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slot, Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card supports eight simultaneous 10Gbps transfers. It is ideal for transferring data from multiple drives to the computer (and from drive to drive)—data transfers from a single USB 3.2 NVMe SSD device at up to 1000 MB\/s. Compared to using a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 adapter card, transfers complete in half the time!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to Perform - Advanced Bandwidth Management Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith its advanced architecture, the Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card can deliver full 10Gbps bandwidth to each of its ports. This is accomplished by providing each USB controller access to two lanes of PCIe 3.0 via an x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, plus by implementing advanced data traffic management to eliminate bandwidth congestion. By providing full-bandwidth PCIe bridging to four controllers and by eliminating bandwidth congestion, this Sonnet card is the highest-performing USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe card ever made.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSonnet Port Power Advantages\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eSonnet designed the Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card with a focus on intelligent power delivery and management for attached drives powered through its ports—unlike ordinary USB adapter cards designed without attention to detail.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7.5W of Power Provided Through Each Port Simultaneously \u003c\/strong\u003e- This Allegro card supports eight USB bus-powered SSDs or hard drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Auxiliary Power Required \u003c\/strong\u003e- Ordinary USB cards need a separate power connection. Sonnet’s Allegro card draws all the power necessary to operate connected drives from the slot it’s installed in. This enables you to install the Sonnet card in any compatible computer or Thunderbolt expansion system regardless of it having extra power connectors available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent, Per-Port Power Regulation \u003c\/strong\u003e- The Allegro card protects each port from power glitches on neighboring ports to prevent auto-disconnects of already-connected drives. Ordinary USB cards can deliver poor power regulation, allowing a connected drive to be forced off (auto-disconnected) when an additional drive is connected or disconnected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResettable Fuses \u003c\/strong\u003e- Unlike ordinary USB cards, the Allegro card features a resettable fuse on each port that protects both the card and computer should a cable or peripheral fail.
