The HighPoint RU1444C is a PCIe 3.0 x16 USB host controller with four USB-C 3.2 20Gb/s ports, suited to professional workstations handling high-speed data acquisition and transfers.
Recommended For
- Windows or Linux workstation users who regularly ingest or copy data from several USB-C SSDs, drive docks, or enclosures and want each connected device to have its own 20Gb/s USB connection.
- Media-production, imaging, or data-acquisition teams that need to collect files from multiple USB devices at once; HighPoint identifies imaging, capture, security, and media archiving as intended workflows.
- Field data-management users who work from a compatible Windows or Linux desktop and need to transfer files between several high-speed USB drives; a B&H customer describes using the card for fast multi-drive data management in the field.
- Desktop builders who need four USB-C ports with dedicated bandwidth for simultaneous device transfers, and have a compatible PCIe slot and the required system power connection.
