Well WOW , YES! I went out and got a USB3 class reader and even with the older cards and the USB2 slot on the front of my Dell Optiplex 755 desktop its much faster. The f3 text on the first 9 G of a chip runs in about the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee. As opposed to the 4-5 hours it did before. I take it that the motherboard device I see when I run 'lspci' -- Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller -- is not a USB3 device. I see some USB3 cards on eBay & Amazon that offer ports at the back of the computer, and seem to offer an internal port. What I don't see is a card that can substitute for the headers on the mobo and let me 'convert' the two front panel USB ports into USB3 or 3.1. Maybe I should just move forward my hopes of replacing the desktop even though there's noting actually wrong with this one and its just techno-lust that makes me want to have a PCI-e connected 256G SSD and all USB3 when all I need it just more memory. Maybe Santa will ... no that a childhood dream, wake up Anton, remember taxes and mortgage come first, then cat food, then ISP fees, then regular food. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
