Non PCI USB-C expansion options?

ITX build would like one USB-C port to use with USB-C dock which has 4x USB 3.1, 1x USB-C ports.


PC does not have any open PCI slots. I see ASRock made a product back in 2015 that is SATA to USB-C, but it does not exist anymore or was never manufactured. Any options to add a port?

That board has rear USB 3.1 ports. Just get a USB type A to C converter.

Problem solved, the usb A to USBC cable was faulty, switched to another and it worked. I also had to uninstall my other cheaper usb hub driver which was conflicting with it, but I'm upgrading from 3 ports to 5. Thanks for making me check my cable again, I wouldn't of thought of it.
