Wireless mouse, my old one had micro USB...Interesting, brought a mouse not long ago and its type A, same with new sound equipment. Likewise I got the latest elgato USB capture model and also type A (ok on this one its A and C, comes with both cables). Going to use C for the elgato then so I have an extra A port.
You don't even need to do that if you have a spare USB 3.0 header on your board, that would give you one additional port with a bracket. Keep in mind that each "full" USB-C port needs "two lanes" of USB, i.e. two USB-A ports equals one USB-C port. As such, it's unlikely that we'll see a lot more USB-C ports until the chipsets support more USB interfaces.If I ever do need more type C, I can get a pci express card, with that said though, there is nothing stopping board vendors adding more type C, just that I think they can do it without removing type A, every board I have owned always has empty space on the back plate.
Good for you, I have four in my NAS.My SATA drives say hi. Currently between 2 systems using 12 drives. SATA runs cooler/less power, more convenient to install/remove, and can have higher capacity.
However, if you look at all the recently released motherboards and the chipset specs, SATA is dying a slow death and in a generation or two, we're most likely down to no more than two SATA ports.
