Looking for something similar to this PCI-E USB 3.0 card - Im not after the front panel bit, but a card that has the "new" 20 pin connector on it. My case has front USB 3 but uses the 20 pin connector and unfortunately my motherboard dosent support that connector... :(

Anyone know of anything around the $30 mark ?

TIA

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you. Also note if you are selling something we ask you to offer to other members first. Links to private sales (including Trade Me posts) aren't accepted anymore and will be removed.

You can always find a few people selling those sort of cards on Trademe ...

I got one like that off ebay but had to shop around to get one that took a sata power connector not the old molex, and had 2 out the back, and had a low profile bracket so ended up being about a $14 card, basic ones are less than that.

Apparantly some chipsets are faster than others, I only use it for HDD's so am not taxing it in anycase.
