Both are very immature technologies at the moment. The thing I like best about USB 3 is that it's as fast or faster then SATA and you don't need a separate cord for power to hook up an external drive. Gonna be several years before everything shakes out and becomes commonplace.

Anyone using these?

I bought a PCIe x 4 board that has 2 USB 3.0 ports adn 2 SATA 6G slots. I also have an enclosure that uses USB 3.0 (and is backwards compatible).

Will standard backup programs work with USB3.0? I guess I'm going to be testing is here soon, but I wanted to know if anyone else has done this.

Also, is there any advantage to running my Intel SSD off at the SATA 6G slot?

Thanks.
