For a controller, negotiating USB 3.0 / XHCI protocol with a device is one thing, delivering the expected bandwidth is another. I've toyed around with enough cheap IDE and SATA adapters to know it takes more than a logo on the packaging to get decent throughput. Also, the bus needs to offer enough bandwidth to avoid being a bottleneck. Theoretical maximum speed for USB3 is 5 Gbits/s, that's a bit more than 2 PCIe lanes can sustain, so you'll want an adapter than plugs into a full-sized PCIe connector, unlike the Syba one.
