20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 - Review

As technology advances, we see more and more upgrades being released every year. One of the latest upgrades in the market is the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A port. This upgrade provides faster data transfer speeds than its predecessor, but it's only available in selected devices that have the Type E Key A port. Thankfully, LTERIVER has come up with a solution to this problem by introducing their new product - the 20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A Convertor Adapter.

This product is designed to convert the 20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 header port on your motherboard to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A port. This means that you can now extend to desktop PCs front panel USB-C ports. It comes in a pack of two, so you can connect both ports at the same time, if you wish.

This USB convertor has a maximum data transfer speed of 5Gbps, which is the maximum speed provided by USB 3.1 Gen 1. However, it still provides an upgrade from the 480Mbps speed offered by USB 2.0. It is important to note that the full speed of USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A port is 10Gbps, but the convertor is limited to 5Gbps.

The LTERIVER USB Convertor is very easy to set up and install. It is compatible with all Windows OS, Windows Servers, and all Linux platforms. This means that it can work seamlessly with all the motherboards that have 20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 headers. It basically works with any device that supports the 20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 header and has the latest drivers.

The product comes with 5V/2A max power supply that is directly picked up by the PCE-U30EC USB convertor. This is a significant improvement since it provides more power than the normal USB 3.1 Gen 1 port which only provides 5V/1A. You can use this to charge your devices or power up any USB-powered devices like an external hard drive or keyboard, as it provides 2x the power of USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Although this product has received 3.5 stars out of 5 stars, it still can be a useful product for users that want to upgrade to the latest technology but don't want to replace their devices entirely. Some customers have reported that they had trouble connecting the motherboard's 20Pin header with the convertor, but after rechecking the orientation, it connected without problem. It is also essential to note that the USB convertor does not support PD (Power Delivery) charging.

In conclusion, the LTERIVER 20Pin USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A Convertor Adapter is a reliable and affordable way to upgrade to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type E Key A port without buying a new motherboard. Its compatibility with all major operating systems and motherboards make it a versatile tool for anyone looking to improve their data-transfer speeds and connect to Type E Key A ports. However, as always, make sure to double-check device compatibility before purchase.
