This is a PCI-Express x4 card which provides a pair of USB 3.1 ports. One is Type A, the same shape as older USB 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 ports, and are backward compatible with older devices without need for adapters. The other is the new Type C port, which is smaller and expected to be the new standard going forward.
William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
USB just keeps getting faster! The latest version (3.1) supports speeds on par with Thunderbolt and introduces a new connector shape: Type C. Those new connectors are going to take a while to catch on, I think, but they are starting to show up on some motherboards. If you need to add one to a system, though, this card provides one - along with a traditional Type A port.
