Check the specification table above against one or two close alternatives — on price and spec fit, not on star ratings.

The FebSmart FS-U304C-Pro adds four 5Gbps USB-C ports to any desktop with a free PCIe x1 slot, and it does it without running a SATA or Molex power cable to your PSU. That is the headline feature: FebSmart's self-powered design pulls up to 5V/3A (15W) per port, 60W across all four, straight from the motherboard, so high-draw USB-C gear like NVMe enclosures, industrial cameras, VR headsets, capture devices, and docking stations actually stays powered instead of dropping out mid-transfer. Under the bracket sits a single Renesas uPD720201 host controller, the same silicon system builders have…

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to connect a power cable to this USB-C card?

No. FebSmart's Self-Powered Technology draws from the motherboard, delivering 5V/3A (15W) per port and 60W total, so no SATA or Molex cable from the PSU is needed.

Does each of the four USB-C ports get its own 5Gbps?

No. The four ports share the single Renesas uPD720201 controller's 5Gbps of total bandwidth, so simultaneous transfers split that pipe.

Will this card work in my Mac or a small form factor PC?

Neither. FebSmart states macOS X is not supported, and the card ships with a full-height bracket only, so slim and low-profile cases will not fit it.

What PCIe slot does the FS-U304C-Pro need?

A free PCIe x1 slot. It is a PCIe 2.0 card that also seats in x2, x4, x8, or x16 slots and works with PCIe 1.x through 4.x. It will not work in a legacy PCI slot.

Do I have to install drivers on Windows 11?

No. It is plug-and-play on Windows 11, 10, 8.x, Windows Server 2012-2022, and most Linux kernels. Only Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Server 2003/2008 require the driver install.
