Asus’ U3S6: First USB 3.0 + SATA 6.0 PCI-E card

—

Not that USB 3.0 will be useful anytime soon—how long did it take manufacturers to finally get behind USB 2.0?—but Asus’ U3S6 should be, provided it’s not cancelled, the world’s first USB 3.0 + SATA 6.0 PCI-E card. Better news: it’s only $30. The card ...

Asus USB 3.0, SATA 6.0 Via PCI-E a Cheaper Way To Raise Bar
The UberReview — ... for the privilege. It comes in the form of the U3S6, a PCI-E card that features a pair each of USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 ports. At the moment there aren’t a lot of USB 3.0 devices on the market, but give it time; contrary to what a lot of commentators believe, we will start seeing the first trickle of devices sooner rather than later. The key technologies that are going to push USB 3.0 are display over USB and our increasing use of flash memory. Price: $30 [CrunchGear] ...

Sure, it’s probably still a little early to really start thinking about USB 3.0, but this is a case where I really don’t see an issue with it. The card is only $30 (USB 2.0 cards were at least twice as much when it came out) and you’re going to get SATA 6.0 ports to boot. According to Asus, the card will be out “soon.” [ Asus ] VIA [ CrunchGear ] ...
