I'm thinking of adding a usb 3.1 pci card to my pc. I currently have usb 3.0.

I'm getting a galaxy s10+ and want to buy a 3.1 usb flash drive and external hd for backup purposes.

Firstly will the upgrade be worth it? I regularly run a batch file that backs up to 2 internal hd, then external usb hd drive and then some stuff goes to a usb flash. I would hope usb process would be a lot quicker with usb 3.1. Also copying photos from my phone I would hope to be quicker with usb 3.1.

Secondly I have seen some usb 3.1 pci cards that are 2 x type a, 2 x type c, or 1 of each. Which of these would be better?

Thirdly I have a nzxt h440 pc case. Is it possible to change the front 3.0 ports to usb 3.1?

Thanks in advance.
