USB 3.0 Expansion Card FebSmart FS-U2S-Pro Matte Black 2x5Gbps

Description

Product Overview

The FebSmart FS-U2S-Pro is a compact PCIe X1 expansion card that brings two high‑speed USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) Type‑A ports to any compatible desktop computer, workstation, or network‑attached storage system. Housed in a sleek matte black metal bracket, the card measures 4.72 x 2.68 x 0.71 inches and weighs just 2.89 ounces, making it an unobtrusive addition to your system. Powered directly from the motherboard’s 12 V rail, the card’s built‑in voltage transformers supply up to 5 V/4 A total, ensuring each port can handle power‑hungry peripherals without the need for an external power cable. The core of the card is the ASMedia ASM1042 controller, a proven USB 3.0 host chip that guarantees stable data throughput and broad compatibility across ARM, AMD, and Intel platforms. The FS-U2S-Pro supports Windows 11, 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, XP (both 32‑ and 64‑bit) as well as Windows Server editions from 2003 through 2022, and it works with modern Linux kernels out of the box.

Usage

Designed for professionals who need reliable, high‑bandwidth connectivity, the FS-U2S-Pro excels in environments where large files are transferred daily—such as video editing suites, graphic design studios, and data‑intensive research labs. It also serves home users who run NAS devices, gaming rigs, or virtual machines that require fast external storage. Because the card draws power from the motherboard, it is ideal for compact builds where additional power connectors are scarce. Install the card in any available PCIe X1 slot (or larger slots such as X2, X4, X8, X16) and enjoy plug‑and‑play functionality on supported Windows versions; for older Windows releases, a simple driver installation completes the setup. The matte black finish blends with most chassis designs, and a low‑profile bracket is included for slim cases.

FAQ

Will the card work in a PCIe slot that is larger than X1?

Yes. The FS-U2S-Pro is compatible with PCIe X2, X4, X8, and X16 slots. It will operate at the speed of the X1 interface but fits securely in larger slots without any issues.

Can I use the card in a small form‑factor case?

Yes. A low‑profile bracket is supplied, allowing installation in slim cases. Simply replace the standard bracket with the low‑profile one before mounting the card.

What is the warranty period?

FebSmart offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Technical support is available throughout the warranty period for driver assistance and troubleshooting.

Is the card compatible with Mac computers?

The card is primarily designed for Windows and Linux systems. While some Mac users have reported success using third‑party drivers, official support is not provided for macOS.
