How can i connect internal usb to sata or something?

randyozo · Oct 23, 2014

My motherboard has only USB 2.0. I want a solution to make my pc to boot from an usb 3.0 stick (faster than usb 2.0).

Optional:
i already have an http://www.magiccomputers.ro/pc-modding/inter-tech-inter-tech-usb-30-front-panel-cu-1x-25-slot-hdd-p-63665.html , if there is some cable to connect that internal usb to Sata or something.

Thanks

SATA isnt USB 3. You need a USB 3 header for that front panel thing. Or an adapter to connect it to a USB 2 header like this

But it will only be USB 2 speed not USB 3 speed

You need a USB 3.0 card to provide you with ports that are USB 3.0 capabile.

You can use this card that has both external ports for the back, and an internal header that you can then plug the bracket from the first link into for your front.

Yah, sata is not USB 3

. I was thinking that is an cable, adaptor or convertor, or something else. I searched for few hours and I didn't find any solution. USB 2.0 i already have and I can use it, but some stupid obsession of mine wants USB 3.0 to boot from

boosted1g, the card will be visible only after installing drivers, so you cannot boot before installing OS and pci card drivers

What exactly ru trying to boot?

boosted1g · Oct 23, 2014

Are you dong a temp linux boot cd/usb or are you instlaling the OS onto the drive.

If you are installing the OS onto the usb drive then you install it in the 2.0 slot, load the 3.0 drivers and then move it to the 3.0 slot.

You did not say you were doing a live boot so i just assumed you were doing a harddrive less system.

I want to install windows, probably the usb stick should be visible in BIOS, that's why i though i should connect it somehow to SATA.

The windows kit will be on the stick. I want to install it on an HDD, but no solution 'till now to see my stick in BIOS ;(

Then there is no solution to use USB 3.0

You can not install windows with a usb 3.0 slot due to there being no drivers yet.
Even on motherboards with 3.0 built in you can not install windows on a 3.0 port.

Well no you can if you have USB 3 drivers. You have to add them. Before you install windows

Paul NZ :

Ohh I forgot about slipstreaming it into his install

You would need to use nlite to add the usb 3.0 and the chipset drivers into windows.
This will work for you specific computer to do it this way, but you would need to load the specific 3.0 and chipset drivers for every computer you want to do this with.

Paul NZ · Oct 23, 2014

Well no wrong again. According to some sites, XP doesnt support USB3.

So, even if you slipstreamed them onto an XP cd it wouldnt work anyway

With Win7 and 8 (cant remember if there's an add option in Vista), since you can add drivers, in the install / setup screen. you just click on add then add them. No need to slipstream USB 3 drivers on a Vista, Win7 or Win8 dvd

randyozo · Oct 23, 2014

Is not only about booting from USB 3.0. I need some wires or something to connect the USB stick. Thanks to all for answers, but in the end i think that there is no solution

Paul NZ · Oct 23, 2014

You cant connect wires to the stick. That wont do anything. And then you wont be able to put it into a USB port at all
