New Asus USB3 Controller Card

Hi,

Does anyone knew whether M/B support for this new Asus U3S6 SATA / USB Card is limited?

The Asus website lists compatible models as:-

Maximus III Formula
P7P55D Deluxe
P7P55D EVO
P7P55D PRO
P7P55D
P7P55D LE
P7P55 LX

I have a P6TD Deluxe so obviously I'm concerned it won't work with this but then agian, provided I've a spare PCI slot I'm struggling to think why not?!

Any ideas?

Cheers,

If it is limited, can anyone recommend a card that includes BOTH USB and SATA ports? My existing P6TD has six SATA ports but they are all in use and I'd like to add another SATA HD if possible.

Also while on the subject, I've no spare USB or 1354 headers on the M/B but have a front bay device that has these ports. Any other way to connect these to the M/B please?

Cheers,

The U3S6 should work, Custom PC tested their's in a gigabyte X38 motherboard, so if it works in a completely different manufactures motherboard, it *should* would fine in the P6TD.
