Sonnet Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card

After extensive research and development, Sonnet presents the Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card, a high-performance, professional-grade solution for expanding your computer's connectivity. This innovative PCIe card is the first of its kind to offer eight external USB-C ports, each delivering a robust 10Gbps bandwidth, thanks to the integration of four independent USB 3.2 controllers and an x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip.

Unlike many multi-port USB cards that divide a single USB controller's bandwidth among their ports, the Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card ensures maximum performance from each port, even when multiple devices are connected and operating simultaneously. This is achieved by providing each USB controller access to two lanes of PCIe 3.0 via an x8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, and implementing advanced data traffic management to eliminate bandwidth congestion.

The Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is designed with a focus on intelligent power delivery and management. It supports eight USB bus-powered SSDs or hard drives, drawing all the power necessary to operate connected drives from the slot it's installed in. This eliminates the need for auxiliary power and allows for installation in any compatible computer or Thunderbolt expansion system.

Additionally, the Allegro card features independent, per-port power regulation to protect each port from power glitches that could cause auto-disconnects of already-connected drives. It also includes resettable fuses on each port, providing an extra layer of protection for both the card and computer.

This durable PCIe card is easy to install in any available x16 PCIe slot and requires no driver installation. It's compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, and can also be used in Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion systems with an available x16 PCIe card slot.

The Allegro Pro USB-C 8-Port PCIe Card is an ideal solution for professionals looking to upgrade their workflow by supporting up to eight NVMe USB drives at maximum performance. Whether you're transferring data from multiple drives to your computer or from drive to drive, this reliable PCIe card ensures high-speed simultaneous transfers, making it a valuable addition to any professional setup.
