Does anyone know (and I probably should have Googled this first) if there are any good PCI-E x1 cards that have both at least 1 internal SATA-II (or faster) port and at least one USB 3.0 port or internal USB 3.0 header?
I've got an ITX board that I'm wanting to turn into a server, but need an extra SATA port to support 4+ TB HDDs. The onboard controller only supports up to 2TB drives. But I also want USB 3.0 capabilities. I figure that a combo card like that will have some compromises (like USB 3.0 may not operate at the full USB 3.0 spec speed, but should be better than USB 2.0 still). Unfortunately, the computer only has one PCI-E x1 slot and that's it for expansion card slots.
Suggestions?
