Hi,
I,m planning on a new build early next month. I see boards that
support the above.
But, I haven.t seen hardware for it to justify it.
Seagate and Western Digital (as well as others) have external disk
drives using USB3 and running at about 90MB/second.
SATA III is can be used with various SSDs, but also with some spinning
disks, such as Western Digital VelociRaptor HLHX models

SATA III would also be useful for use with a port multiplier, but I
couldn't find a SATA III port multiplier.
I'd hold out for PCI 3 also, but you made need PCI 2 on some slots
since PCI 3.0 doesn't support 5-volt power per

Food for thought. Thanks.
