Thanks in advanced

You can't get that much bandwidth from a PCIe X1. There maybe such a card, but you can't get full bandwidth on all devices.

From Wikipedia -- PCI Express 3.0's 8 GT/s bit rate effectively delivers 985 MB/s per lane,

That could do 1 SATA SSD but not 2 and that leaves NO bandwidth for USB.

Usually each of those devices (USB3 port, or SATA port) gets a PCIe lane.
