PCI USB expansion card

[Deidmoo5]

Hi there,

Not really a peripheral but I guessed this was the best section to ask in. Can anyone recommend a good and reliable PCI/PCIe expansion card to add more USB ports that doesn't require a separate power cable? It doesn't need to have loads of ports, ideally at least 4.

 

Cheers.

all USB 3 PCIe cards require external power connectors to help provide extra power to the PCIe card. After looking at ebay I can't seem to find a USB 3.0 PCIe card that does not have external power plugs. Although if you want to knock down to USB 2.0 we have more options. I found a PCI and PCIe USB 2.0 card:

PCIe card:

This one's used, but it has SO MAY PORTS:

Thanks for getting back to me, I don't really need them to be USB 3.0 if I'm honest, its just for things like my gamepad and webcam so I'm not too fussed. Thanks again!
