July 26, 20188 yr Hi, My computer has this motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-DS2 DVI (rev. 1.0) This is the specification page for that motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-DS2 DVI (rev. 1.0) - Specifications In the specifications Expansion Slots section it says this motherboard has, Quote 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (The PCI Express x16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.) I am thinking of purchasing this PCI Express card: Inateck 2-Port PCI-E USB 3.0 Express Card, Mini PCI-E USB 3.0 Hub Controller Adapter, with Internal USB 3.0 20-PIN Connector Can someone please tell me if this USB 3.0 card is suitable for, compatible with, my motherboard?
July 27, 20188 yr Author It's okay, I posted my question on Amazon and the card manufacturers responded that the card is suitable for my motherboard.
July 27, 20188 yr I can also confirm that it should work. It would probably work with any pcie revision slot, maybe slower on rev1. But you have rev3
July 29, 20188 yr Author Got the card. Fitted fine. Installed drivers from the packaged CD -- d*** wouldn't work. Went to the website, downloaded and installed latest drivers -- started to work fine. I just backed up all my data partitions using my new USB3 ports and considerably faster than using USB2. Happy now. Thanks for the help.
