Dual USB-C Expansion Card

Soooo, time for an update :relieved:…

The new fixed daughter-boards arrived yesterday and I did assemble one tonight.

Optically not much of a difference:

I did adjust the silkscreen-text to my experiences so far :joy::

The whole thing connected:

And we actually do now have a USB 3 device :blush:.

The two generic ones are the from the hub controller:

The USB 3 section of the controller:

The USB 2 part:

A quick AS-SSD benchmark:

The benchmark could be faster, but I used some Ali-express USB to NVME-adapter, so I actually don’t know what’s the limiting factor here.

Edit: That’s by the way a benchmark with the same SSD on the USB 3 5Gbit port on my Dell Thunderbolt dock:


So I’d say it’s a good result :blush:.

I’m a little impressed (and proud :blush:) it works at all!
I did also test all ports (so the cable in both directions on both ports), and it works with USB 3 in all circumstances.

The next step will be designing an enclosure :blush:.
