I hope you're right. The rollout of 2.0 was very disappointing. Some of the hardware never did work under Linux. Even hubs, which should not have had any compatibility problems. So I think caution is appropriate. -- Allen Brown abrown at peak.org http://brown.armoredpenguin.com/~abrown/ I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse. --- Carl Sagan

There's no reason it shouldnt be ready. You approach native drive speeds (at least spinning drives) with USB 3.0. Just make sure it is a PCIe USB3 card. If there is even PCI it'd be crippled by the bus.
