Expansion & Capture Cards in Lebanon.

Capture cards for streaming and recording

A capture card brings video from another device into your PC. The Razer Ripsaw X connects over USB, so it works with desktops and laptops alike, and it has a camera connection as well as video capture, so it suits both gameplay recording and camera streaming setups. Check the official Razer page linked on the listing for supported inputs and resolutions. For a full streaming setup, pair it with a desktop microphone and good headsets.

Storage expansion

The StLab A-550 PCIe SSD + SATA 6G adapter uses a PCIe 2.0 x2 slot to add one SSD slot and three SATA 6 Gb/s ports for hard drives or SSDs. It is a practical way to add drives to an older motherboard with too few SATA ports. For fast NVMe SSDs, use the motherboard's own M.2 slots. Browse SSDs and storage to find drives.

Sound cards

The Unitek USB 2.0 external sound card adds stereo headphone and microphone jacks over USB. It is a quick fix for a broken or noisy front audio jack, for headsets with separate 3.5 mm plugs, and for laptops without a mic input.

Before you buy

• Slot or port: PCIe cards need a free PCIe slot that is not blocked by a thick graphics card. USB devices need a free USB port.
• Bandwidth: for capture, connect to a fast USB port on the back of the PC.
• Drivers: the StLab adapter lists Windows driver support; check the official pages linked on each listing.

Is this the right upgrade?

If you need more storage connections, first check whether your motherboard has free M.2 slots or SATA ports; the builder counts them. If you need WiFi or a faster network, a dedicated WiFi or network card is the better route. And if your PC's audio jack works but you want better sound, a USB headset with its own sound card can be simpler than an adapter.
