makes more sense to buy USB 3.0 PCIe card instead

if you want to future proof atm

Think about an ASUS Model U3S6 USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s Add-on card and I run it in a Gigabyte x48-DS4 board. I am very satisfied with it.
Uses NEC(renesis) usb 3.0 drivers and Marvell SATA drivers. Plus, it uses X4 PCI-e interface.

You can get best of both worlds.

I have a Gigabyte X58 Extreme Mobo and all the pcie 16x slots are filled up for GPUs running folding at home.
I have an Xfi soundcard on the pcie-4x slot and the only slot left now is the pcie 2 1x slot.

That's the reason I went for this.

Thnx!!

just a note:
the asus 4x u3s6 card (usb3.0 ) has a faster max transfer rate, then pci-e v2.0 usb3.0 cards.

ie, usb 3.0 card + ssd (220mb/sec)(vis intel onboard)

asus u3s6 get 170mb/sec

gig usb3.0 card in pci-e v2.0 slot gets 155
