AKASA USB 3.2 Gen 2 Internal 20-pin Connector
The Akasa controller with an internal 20-pin USB 3.2 Gen 2 connector is a simple solution for upgrading a desktop PC that lacks modern connectors. This expansion card installs into a free PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard and adds the crucial internal 20-pin Key-A connector, which is essential for enabling modern USB-C ports on the front panel of a PC case. By connecting a standard SATA power connector from the power supply, you also ensure a stable power supply for all connected devices.

Fast data transfer with the Akasa controller
Thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, the controller works with transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s. This speed allows for fast copying of large files, such as videos or bulky backups. The card also supports the UASP protocol (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for more efficient data transfers, optimising communication between the computer and the connected storage.
Power and compatibility
For stable operation of connected devices, the card must be powered via a standard SATA connector directly from the computer's power supply. This step supplies enough energy even for more power-hungry peripherals. Its wide applicability across different setups is confirmed by its compatibility with both Windows and Mac OS. Specifically, the card supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11.
Flexible installation
The manufacturer has designed the expansion card with different types of PC cases in mind. In addition to the standard bracket, the package also includes a low-profile version. Thanks to the included low-profile bracket, installation is easy even in compact and slim PC cases that don't have enough space for full-height components.
