The available options are limited, as most systems lack internal USB 3.0 splitters or hubs. You might need to use an external adapter or check if your motherboard supports third-party solutions.

Splitters are available. They're problematic. Using all ports and devices simultaneously undermines their usefulness if they work at all. You'll have to choose one of the following: A - Set up a workaround to route USB3 ports through the back of the motherboard (a method that was once popular but is now uncommon, requiring drilling or similar fixes); B - Use an adapter to connect USB3 ports to a USB2 header (this slows them down to USB2 speed, though it might still work depending on what you plug in); C - Switch to a different motherboard.

Consider using a PCIe card to increase the number of USB3 connectors. https://www.amazon.ca/PCI-Ports-Header-E...B07Q294CXG

I thought this could be a good choice after logging out last night. Adding more USB ports and a USB Type-C on the rear I/O would make it the strongest option.
