I'm thinking about the unused PCIe slot in my machine, a capable USB3.0 card that would fill it nicely, and an almost no-hardware enclosure for a spare SATA drive, for under $80... drooling just a bit on my keyboard... It'd make a fine storage extender for a PC-based TV recorder, among many other uses. Gotta talk to my wife, take her out to dinner maybe...

LOL! If you get this along with a USB 3.0 card would love to know your experiences with this StarTech offering.
