Motherboard with SATA3 and USB3
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. i've looked at newegg but found no parts for which use either SATA3 or USB3. Are there any? |

Always read the reviews, to see if they're really worth having. SSDs in general, have a pretty bad track record, in terms of consistent performance under all circumstances. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&name=SATA+III There are USB3 hard drive enclosures, but I wouldn't say the example here was earth shaking. The USB3 enclosure chip does have the advantage of passing the 30MB/sec mark of USB2. But the burst transfer rate doesn't suggest the plumbing on this one is "fully open". It may take time, before that will happen. I suspect you might see higher numbers from existing ESATA enclosures. The only advantage a USB3 2.5" enclosure would have, is being able to bus power the hard drive inside. http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=1752 Paul |

I just went to Intel Desktop motherboards, and selected for SATA 6Gb/s under the Advanced search. The cheapest board, from Gigabyte also has 2 x USB 3.0: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128412 It looks like a lot of those boards use the P55 chipset, and have 2 x SATA3 ports + 2 x USB3 ports. |

There is very few at the present time but how long will you keep your
new mobo......... I too am in the market for a new mobo and am waiting to see some with more SATA3 connectors than the 2 currently offered as well as more USB3 connectors. I guess it will take a little while for them to come out as more and more SATA3 HD and USB3 peripherals become available. At the present time I am not interested in an SSD drive ..costs too much.. too many variables are at work to make reliable.. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "Dewey Edwards" wrote in message ... Hi, I,m planning on a new build early next month.

I am thinking about an ASUS Premium X58 board (I like the fact that the SATA connections will NOT be under a single video card). And I want to overclock. As Peter says below, SSD's are hard to justify the current cost. Me thinks I'll just get the board and get an SSD when they become more affordable. |

At the present time I am not interested in an SSD drive ..costs too much.. too many variables are at work to make reliable.. Tend to agree about current SSD prices. But I need a new system. I will live with the "2X2" limitations of current mobos. My original question was what is out there for such a mobo. Shoot, I don't mind upgrading a peripheral or two when the upgrade makes sense. ] Thank you Peter for your response. peter "Dewey Edwards" wrote in message ...

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 http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/librar...879-701284.pdf 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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periphe...t_Interconnect i've looked at newegg but found no parts for which use either SATA3 or USB3. Are there any? Others have given links for boards supporting USB3 and SATA3. I haven't checked for PCI 3 support. |
