Hi guys,
I currently own a PC built on an Asus P6T motherboard (regular P6T rev.1.xx)
I am running out of room in my backup unit, and was thinking of getting a 2TB My Book or Passport or whatever external storage device to replace it with. Most of today's large backup devices are USB 3.0.
The Asus P6T was one of the last ones limited to USB 2.0.
A friend of mine told me to buy this card to enable my PC to transfer at USB 3.0 speeds.
My question is this : Will this card allow me to access USB 3.0 speeds with my new backup unit (like I said, a My Book or Passport with USB 3.0 compatibility) or was it simply designed to add more USB 3.0 ports to PC's that are ALREADY USB 3.0 compatible?
Thanks!
