Asus Continues USB 3.0 Onslaught With a Cheap PCI-E Card [USB]
Man, Asus is really going nuts with USB 3.0 gear this week. First a 3.0 compatible motherboard, now this SuperSpeed ready PCI-E card that won’t even break the bank at $30.
Unfortunately, the guys at Maximum PC didn’t have any USB 3.0 devices to run the card through it’s paces. All we know is that Windows 7 boots fine while once it’s installed, and it gets similar USB 2.0 transfer rates to other controllers out there.
That said, we all know that USB 3.0 is going to be blazing. As long as the card performs anywhere near as fast as we expect from USB 3.0, the fact that it’ll be out “soon” and won’t cost much is good enough for me. [Maximum PC via CrunchGear]

Any Linux distro should run with card this using the 2.6.31 kernel if the device meets standards… I understand there are a few Vantec USB 3.0 hard drive housing about for testers… Using Seagate’s newest 2TB dive running at Sata 6, instead of the 3, or 1.5 of the early Sata drives…
What I would like to read more of is the facts about the Grey Point web Cam that pushing 1080p via USB 3.0… That is a device we want to order, and many of us video users want it yesterday… Linux compatible, Debian please…
