USB 3.0

Hey guys, I'm going to get a external HDD for college and i want it to be a decent size for storing all of my media as well.

I'm looking into getting a USB 3.0 device. The problem is that my mobo don't support USB 3.0. So then i was looking at USB 3.0 PCI cards.

So my question is, is it worth getting USB 3.0 HDD and USB 3.0 PCI card for the extra speed? Will i notice the difference?

I see the logic of always progressing with technology.

So you think it's worth paying more for USB 3.0?

Alright thanks guys, I'll get the USB 3.0 one as there's not much of a price difference. I just wont bother with a USB controller card.

EDIT: it is compatible with 2.0 isn't it? Will i need a certain cable?
