Also featured is USB backward compatibility.

Dedicated Per-Port Performance Architecture
Each USB device port on the RocketU 1444C is fully independent and powered by a dedicated 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 controller chip, backed by a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface. The 20 Gb/s per-port performance controller architecture ensures each hosted USB device can operate at maximum throughput without saturating the bus or taxing system resources.
Fast PCIe 3.0 x16 Host Interface
The PCIe 3.0 host interface works in tandem with the per-port performance architecture to ensure each individual USB port can deliver 20 Gb/s of transfer bandwidth at all times, even in cases where each port is occupied and under heavy load.
Dedicated USB Controllers Provide Independent Device Paths and Power Delivery
Dedicated USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 controllers enable each port to work independently and deliver up to 7.5W of power for device operation or charging purposes. The innovative PCB layout provides a dedicated USB connection pathway for each port; hosted USB devices can operate at peak performance, without the risk of interference by neighboring USB connections.
Ideal for High-Speed Data Acquisition and Capture Applications
The RocketU 1444C's performance-focused HBA architecture was designed for workflows that demand ease of integration, hot-plug capability, and rapid file transfer. The independent 20 Gb/s USB ports and PCIe 3.0 host interface can easily accommodate a wide range of high-speed data acquisition applications, including imaging and capture solutions, security systems, and media archiving.

HighPoint RocketU 1444C Reviews

Works as advertised, get USB 2x2 speeds on a Mac

By Kevin

I am running this in a Sonnet enclosure with a Macbook Pro M3 Max. I'm getting 1700-2000MBS out of T9s, Extreme Pros, and other 2x2 drives instead of being limited by the onboard Macbook Pro's Thunderbolt port. With the 6 pin power connected I can use all 4 ports at full speed with no problems. Highly recommended for data management setups in the field where speed is of the essence.

Just what I was looking for

I needed to add a few more USB-C ports to my desktop computer for various functions. This fit the bill, and did not empty my wallet and was super easy to install. For me that is a win/win! And it just works!
