Upgrading / adding 3.0 USB

tinker1973 · ‎12-30-2020

I was wondering how and what USB 3.0 upgrades i could put in my PC.

I have several hard drives and would like to plug them directly into the pc instead of a hub.

Hello
is it this model?

You don't have too many options.
It looks like you have a free pci 1x port, so it should be possible to add a pci card with usb port

I'm not sure it's more practical than a HUB on the other hand
