So, I have this motherboard and I just bought this Internal Hard Drive. I believe the drive will work, but if plugged into the motherboard it will be at 3 Gb/s.

My question is, if i buy this Card what kind of speeds can I expect to get from my hard drive, and is it even worth it?

Is the difference from 3 Gb/s to 6 Gb/s worth the price of the card if it does work at all?

Thanks for the quick responses. I'll forego the card for now and just enjoy my 4 TB of goodness.
