A PCI USB card, also known as a PCI USB expansion card, is an expansion card that adds additional USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports to a computer by plugging into an available PCI slot on the motherboard. It allows users to connect more USB devices to their computer, such as external hard drives, printers, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals.
PCI USB cards come in various configurations, offering different numbers and types of USB ports, such as USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. They are commonly used in older computers or systems with limited USB connectivity to expand the number of available USB ports or to upgrade to faster USB standards.
Similar to PCI sound cards, there isn't a specific "name" for a PCI USB card as it can vary depending on the manufacturer and model. Some well-known brands that produce PCI USB cards include StarTech, Syba, and Anker, among others. The specific model name or number would be necessary to identify a particular PCI USB card.
