So did you hear about the guy that was abducted by aliens?

Anyway on topic, this sure looks like spam.

Nah, it's real. I just needed a place to host it temporarily. I've finally found the password to my Pastebin account. Will delete the thread in a few.

notepad.exe ?

Better use it while you can before notepad 3D comes out and you'll have to download the old notepad from the Windows Store. heh.

What about Notepad++?

I've used it for years. pretty handy imho.

you think I'm the only one wanting to know what controller chips are on upgrade cards that don't say in their specs, and you have to look at (possibly stock) photos, or dive into the comments section, in order to determine it?

Research deserves exposure. Hell, that's one of the founding principles of VOGONS.

Only one, no. but probably not that many people out there care what chipset there cheap pcie usb3 card has.

I just thought you needed to place to save your books marks temporally as you said this in the OP.

Needed a place to stash this temporarily.

it matters to me.

but only usb 1.1 and only because certain chipsets are nativly supported by macintosh.

We should ban him for posting this in the wrong forum as well.

How is it in the wrong forum? its not old hardware and I don't recall there being a spot for new hardware. If anyone should be beaned its me for derailing the thread. 😲

I recently had to image an 80 GB drive over USB 1.1 connection. Fortunately it was mostly empty. Still took some three hours though.

Hey, I am gonna say thanks for the info. That inateck 7-port controller surely looks delicious 😎

What I cannot understand is USB 3.1 on PCIe 2.0 x1. PCIe 2.0 x1 theoretical bandwidth is 5Gbps, just like USB 3.0. USB 3.1 is 10Gbps. So even theoretically the card cannot deliver anything over what USB 3.0 gives in terms of speed. What other advantages to being called 'USB 3.1' might there be?

The good cards are those that have two ports on the back and a front panel header for two more ports. I've used two of these at various times. One with Renesas uPD720201, one with Via VL805.

There are also some PCIe x4 cards with 4 separate uPD720201 chips, each on its own lane, and a PCIe bridge between them. Expensive stuff.

It's because I was upgrading a PC that only had x1 slots. The client specifically requested USB3 compatibility. Well aware of the bottleneck that even USB 3.0 will have but they wanted more ports, so... And then I was originally told I had ordered a 3.1 card when it turned out that I hadn't paid attention to the USB Implementers Forum "rebranding" 3.0 as 3.1 Gen 1. This annoyed me, so I made my list.

Why would one want usb 3.0 over 3.1?

I'm quite pleased with all the conversation that erupted out of all this. 😀

In case anyone was wondering, I have one of these 3.0 cards in my machine. I literally chose the cheapest one off ebay with 4 ports and a 4-pin molex power connector. works just fine with my cell phone and card reader.
