USB Data Transfer Rate	USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10G), USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5G), USB 2.0 (480MB)
Number of USB Ports	Four independent USB 3 Cable Ports (Std-A Receptacle, USB IF TID 360000145) The Vbus of each USB Port has a 2.0A Single Channel Current-Limited Power Switch for protection (IC-S0372H-03) 2.0A (62mΩ on-resistance) Single Channel Current-limited Power Switch UL File Number E328191
USB Bus Power Input	12V Step-Down to 5V from either PCIe 12V or Power Connector 12V (J1: ATA 4-pin or J2: SATA 15-pin) The USB Bus power (5V) are step-down from 12V and the 12V input might from either PCIe Edge Connector or Auxiliary Power Connectors (J1 & J2). Note: If the PCIe Slot can’t supply 12V current high enough then you have to attach the Auxiliary Power from either J1 (ATA 4-pin) or J2 (SATA 15-pin).
