Well, I am using an ASUS U3S6 PCI card on a linux server.<br>
<br>
It is recognized fine by the kernel and works well for SATA. For USB,
I have plugged in USB2 devices for testing and it works, but I don't
actually own and USB 3 devices to test them with. </div></blockquote><div><br>Does dmesg show that it is different and that it is USB3 not USB2? Or does it just degrade gracefully to USB2 and that is what Linux shows?<br>

So, other then the fact that the kernel recognized it and works with no
problems I don't have too much to report.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>Something I would be interested in is transfer speed from a hard drive. Is it really that different on USB3 from USB2, or will it be the same? Anyone else has USB3 devices and can share the info?<br>
