I've heard that when converting a usb 2.0 motherboard to 3.0 through the pci slot, quite a bit of speed is lost when using Flashdrive 3.0
I see two basic options since I want to access Flash 3.0 via the front of the desktop:
A) get a new pci controller card equipped with a 20 pin connector --> connect internally to a 3.5" USB 3.0 Front Panel Drive Bay 20 Pin
B) bypass the pci slot altogether with an Internal 20-Pin USB3.0 to USB2.0 Adapter Cable http://store.antec.com/Product/acces...REP-00400.aspx
Can this be done and if so, how would the transfer rate compare with that of the pci controller card -- would speed be gained?
Could it be assumed that this still would not be as fast as if connected direct to a board having usb 3.0?
Will be transferring large amounts of data which I believe true 3.0 can handle.
