Seeking USB expansion card...

[ttaskmaster]

Heya,

Is there a decent PCI/PCI-E type USB3.0 expansion card out there that has both the 19-pin internal header *and* an internal port, as well as 2-4 external ports?

I have been running a Startech PEXUSB3S4 card for some time now, and throughput speed is good, and reliability is much better than the Lian Li card it replaced which dropped out every time a device was connected.
Card has 3 external ports, and 1 internal port.

Startech also do a card with 2 ext and 2int, with the internal ones being headers (PEXUSB3S2E2I), but I am not sure the chipset is as good as the TI one on my card. You could probably get an adapter to convert one part of the header to a port.

Interesting...

None that have both an internal port and a header, though?
