The StarTech.com PEXUSB4DP is a low-profile PCI Express USB card designed for users needing to expand their system with additional USB 2.0 ports, particularly in smaller form factor computers. Its key benefit is providing 4 USB 2.0 connections (3 external, 1 internal) with high-speed data transfer capabilities. A potential caveat is that it only offers USB 2.0 speeds, not USB 3.0 or higher.

It supports a wide range of Windows versions from Windows XP up to Windows 10 and Windows Server versions, as well as macOS 10.6 to 10.10 and Linux.
The internal USB port is useful for connecting devices that you want to keep inside the computer case, such as internal card readers, Wi-Fi adapters, or Bluetooth modules, without occupying an external port.

Confirm that the device connected is indeed a USB 2.0 device and that the port it's connected to on the card is functioning at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). Ensure no other high-bandwidth USB 2.0 devices are simultaneously maxing out the bus.
Check if the PCIe slot is functional by testing another card in it. Ensure the card is fully seated. Consult your motherboard manual to confirm PCIe slot compatibility.
Verify the internal USB cable is correctly connected to both the card and the motherboard (if applicable) or directly to the card's internal header. Ensure the internal port is enabled in the BIOS if such an option exists.
