Thanks for your time.
The MSi Motherboards have
11x USB 3.2 outputs on motherboard.
But I cannot find a way of using all the 11x USB 3.2 outputs.
The links for products are USB 2.0 and are splitters you could not run 2 hard drives of them.
So we have no way of running the full 11x USB 3.2 outputs straight from the motherboard, this is all I am asking?
Was hoping asking for a 7 port USB 3.0 output cable that would run from the motherboard at the same speed as USB 3.0 like the
7 Port PCI Express card.
I use one of these, PCI Express USB 3.0. its not a USB "splitter". This device will run 7 USB 3.0 hard drives at full load all day.
StarTech.com 7 Port PCI Express USB 3.0 Card Standard and Low-Profile Ports PEXUSB3S7
That device is a splitter. A single USB 3.2 port can handle 20GB/s of data.
That card takes a SINGLE PCIe x1 slot and turns it into 7 USB3.2 ports, meaning it should support 140 GB/s of data.....
Even at the max of USB3.0, which is 5 GB/s, that card comes in woefully low on bandwidth, since 7 x 5 = 35GB/s of data. A single PCIe x1 @ 3.0 = 1GB/s......
What I'm trying to say is that your example is wrong, and your numbers just don't make sense......
As far as running at full load.....that's a laugh. Yes, it'll run all day, but with 7 of them running, it's going to be slower than an 10 year old SATA hard drive in comparison.....You're splitting the bandwidth up WAY too much to really be effective. A device like that is meant to handle a bunch of small load devices, like mice, keyboards, webcams, microphones or sound cards, which aren't going to be maxing out the bandwidth of a since PCIe x1 slot......A single hard drive could technically max that out if it wanted to.
On top of that, the board doesn't have 11 USB3.2 internal headers.
It's got 4 3.2 Type A ports, and a single Type C port.
HOWEVER, those 4 ports are actually 2 ports per connector. There's only 2 connectors on the board, JUSB2 and JUSB3, for USB3.2 Type A ports.
JUSB1 is for the Type C connector. So realistically, there are 4 Type A ports and 1Type C port, but it's really only 2 connectors for type a and 1 for the type c.
It does also have USB 2.0 headers.
Same deal here. 4 ports, but only 2 connectors which are JUSB4 and JUSB5.
Overall, if you want those ports out on the front of your PC, you're going to need a device similar to what was proposed above. And in fact, thats probably the best you're going to get.
Insisting otherwise means little here. We're merely quoting the specs and what is hard facts.
Thinking otherwise and interpreting them differently isn't going to change that what we are stating really is just the truth. I would get those 5.25" drives and use those as required. You're not going to get much better at this point.
Taken straight from the manual :
5 total USB headers.
1 USB 3.2 Type C (JUSB1)
2 USB 3.2 Type A (JUSB2 and JUSB3)
2 USB 2.0 (JUSB4 and JUSB5)
Now sure what else to say at this point other than.....
