The ASMedia ASM3042 is a high-performance PCIe 3.0 x2 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2 controller chip that enables lightning-fast data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps. It is designed to be used in high-performance computing systems that require ultra-fast data transfers, such as gaming PCs, workstations, and servers.

The ASM3042 features two USB Type-C ports that support the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 standard, which is twice as fast as USB 3.2 Gen 2. This allows for the transfer of large files, such as 4K video and high-resolution images, in a matter of seconds.
