pci usb card recommendation

[RobTi]

Hi just wondering if anyone can recommend a usb card for me as looking to get extra usb ports and it looks like a minefield when looking for one ?
Thanks

Depends what you are after USB2/3, internal/external, hub or dedicated card?

Plenty of options here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/adapter-cards/usb?spage=1&ssort=3#

cheapest option would just be a usb3 pcie card:

my basket at overclockers uk:

• 1 x Dynamode USB3.0 4-port PCIe Adapter (USB-4PCI-3.0)= £11.99

Total: £15.47 (includes shipping: £3.48)​

Thanks that was just what i was looking for, does it matter that its a molex power socket and not sata(assumed this would make it an old model) and is there anything to be worried about that its much cheaper than other items on that page, as i said i wouldnt know what to look for in good or bad wityh this type of thing

Nope should be fine - Molex connectors are arguably more robust. Not sure why it's so much cheaper, but have never had any issues with any of the Dynamode products we've had at work over the years
