  • Easy installation, No external power source needed, x4 PCI-E means no bottleneck for the USB 3.0 ports, Compatible with x4, x8 and x16 PCI-E slots, Same great asking price as USB 3.0 x1 cards, SATA Hot plug capable

  • The U3S6 really is a potent upgrade path for anyone not wanting to go through the time, cost and effort required for swapping out a motherboard. Just be prepared to ignore the included SATA 6GB/s ports unless your motherboard is on the ASUS qualified l...

  • Combo card, USB 3.0 and SATA 3, No additional power needed
  • Not much difference using X1 or X4 PCIE slots, Uses a standard PCIE slot
  • I don’t know but personally I wouldn’t waste a full PCIE slot on this card. Sure it has SATA 3 ports on it, but there isn’t much out there that can even utilize it just yet. Is it worth it? I don’t think so really…Pros:+Comb...

  • Abstract:  At first I want to thank Brando for offering me a complete USB 3.0 solution for testing and reviewing.The new USB 3.0 standard was not long ago introduced and many manufacturers started to implement it by building revised enclosures; some motherboard m...

  • Adds speedy next-generation drive-connection options without motherboard replacement; very inexpensive
  • PCI Express x4 interface doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle simultaneous throughput from multiple ports
  • If you're looking to add the latest speedy SATA 6 and USB 3.0 drives to your desktop, the U3S6 is a steal at around $30. ...

  • Abstract:  One important thing we have to mention is that fact that Corsair’s flagship flash drive series pushes the limits of the USB 2.0 interface and it is because of this we saw moderate performance increases. If you are expecting miracles to happen with lower-end flash drives, you may as well forget about it. However, if you are using an external drive..

  • Am Ende unseres Kurz-Tests angekommen, stellen wir fest, dass nicht immer alles so interessant ist, wie es beworben wird. Unser extra erworbenes, externes Festplattengehäuse von Orico unterstützt auf dem Papier sämtliche SATA-Standards und gar auch USB 3...

  • Auch wir sahen dem neuen Controller eher skeptisch gegenüber. Solche Upgrades per Controller sind immer mit Problemen verbunden, erstens was die Treiber, und zweitens die Kompatibilität betrifft. Doch auch wenn wir unsere anfänglichen Bedenken hatten, ...

  • Gir deg USB 3.0 og SATA 6 Gbps på samme kort. Rimelig. Ytelsen virker god.
  • Ingen spesielle.
  • USB 3.0 gir på mange områder den samme ytelsen med en ekstern harddisk som man har med en intern harddisk, og skal man kjøpe ekstern harddisk nå vil vi anbefale at man ser etter modeller med USB 3.0-støtte. Disse er bakoverkompati...

  • Abstract:  Vertex 3 (VTX3-25SAT3-240G) をX58環境で活かすために×4接続ということを信じて購入。以下適当なレビューです。ASUS U3S6チップセットによってはレーン割りによる帯域の割り当てが異なるので必ずレーン割を調べるようにしておいてください。供給する外部電源などは必要ありません。良く見ていただければ分かりますが、 Marvell 9120のチップがPCI Express*1で接続されている ことが分かります。 つまり…PCI Express 2.0で接続されていても双方向で最大50...
