Simply putting in a USB device into a USB3 port isn't going to give you USB3 speeds, you are still only going to get data transfer as fast as the device will work.	wainuitech (129)

My thinking was, if I am going to get them fitted to front of computer, I might as well get 3 and be future proof.	Cicero (40)

You will more than likely need a card reader style device that sits in the 3.5" or 5.25" drive bays in the case, that will then generally plug into a USB header on the board. Does your board have USB3 -- plugging a USB 3 device into a USB2 header will only give you USB2 speeds..	wainuitech (129)

If the replacement works, that is transmit, then that will do for now. Like I said, if I plug a USB drive into new unit, there is no recognition what so ever and that can't be right?	Cicero (40)
