Does anyone know if there is a plain PCI (or PCIX) USB 3 adapter? I understand the bandwidth of PCI < USB3, but it still beats the heck out of USB 2. I have some older dell 2850s that do not have the PCI E ports that most USB 3 adapters require. I'd really like to get usb3 in those servers. I searched the internet but didn't see any. The local computer store said they only had pcie adapters. Do these exist?

I am not aware, so far, of any USB 3 implementation on PCI/PCI-X bus. The currently used NEC chip that implement USB 3.0 protocol has PCI-Express controllers built into the chip, integrated. Thus it is highly unlikely that USB3 would appear in PCI/PCI-X settings. For the matter, would a PCI eSATA adapter help? | |||
