FebSmart Self-Powered Technology:
FebSmart Self-Powered Technology is a new solution to add more power supply on USB expansion cards.The old version PCI Express USB cards need to plug a power cable from desktop computers power supply unit.Some times even users put power cable on computer power supply unit,it still drops speed due to power limitation.PCI Express slot can provide 75W max almost 12V/6.25A power in total for PCIE devices.FebSmart add 1X voltage transformer chip on each USB 3.0 port to transfer 12V to 5V and provide each port 3A max power supply.ln other words,each USB port will get 5V/3A 15W for connected USB 3.0 devices.Most of high power consumption devices just need around 4-8W which means this USB 3.0 expansion card can light up high power consumption devices simultaneously in full speed.To protect connected USB devices and users data,FebSmart built in safety electric circuit protector,voltage stable inductance,voltage stable capacitors on each USB port.Users do not worry data loss or burn USB devices anymore.Add superspeed, safe and easy install USB card on desktop PCs.
Add USB Card on Desktop PCs:
Stepl, Switch OFF PC, unplug computer from main socket, unplug power cord and
other connected peripherals. Remove the cover from computer case.
Step2, Find correct PCI Express slot from motherboard, insert USB 3.0 card into an empty PCI-E slot.

devices can not reach the test condition, so the real connection speed will be
less than 625MB/S.
Why are USB 3.0 HDD/SSD enclosures running low speed?
– When PC’s using NVME/SATA 3.0 SSD disks, the USB 3.0 HDD/SSD enclosure’s test speed will be affected by the Inside HDD or SSD.SATA 3.0 SSDs will get over 300MWSSATA 3.0 HDDs will get about 100- 200MWS.When using SATA 2.0 HDDs, speed will be less than 100MB/S.
Why do USB flash drives get a very low speed?
– Check if the flash drive designed on USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.The USB 2.0 flash drives will get a USES 2.0 speed.The USB 3.0 flash drives had one read speed and one write speed when It was produced.Even though the manufacture claim it is USB 3.0 flash drive,they may only design the read speed on USB 3.0 but the write speed is much slower.The real test speed will be also affected by user PC’s disk type when copy in files. The PC with SSDs test speed will be faster than the PC with HDDs.
Do these USB pods still support external USB hubs?
