You need four USB ports, and two of them where your hands actually reach — the front panel. The EC315 gives you a USB-C and USB-A on the rear, plus internal connectors for a front-panel USB 3.0 socket and a Key-A (Type-E) port, all running at 10Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2. Slots into PCIe x4, x8, or x16. Powered straight from the slot, no external adapter in your way. Windows 8 and above just works. Windows 7 needs a quick driver install. Low-profile bracket included for compact builds
