I have a system based on an Asus P5K-E motherboard that I want to keep in service, but I'm pretty sure it's PCIe v1.0. It does have an open 4-lane PCIe slot though. I have been considering getting a SATA III adapter to see if it would make the most of the x4 slot even if it's v1.0.
The only thing that I've come up with so far is the Syba PEX50055 (chipset = Asmedia ASM1061, Etron EJ168A for USB 3). It does appear to use all 4 lanes (some boards look like x4, but are only wired for x2).
Does anyone know of other alternatives? I don't want it to get too pricey, or it won't be worthwhile. No RAID required--I'm just going to use the system for internet and mass storage.
