Well, I did some more snooping.  Does anyone have experience with this card:

http://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Windows-ORICO-PFU3-4P-Controller/dp/B008V3THAC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

The price is certainly right ($20).  I think I passed over this initially 
because I saw a few bad reveiws, but I now went back and read most of the 
reviews and a lot of them were positive.

This card (ORICO PFU3-4P) has 4 external USB-3 ports.  There is also the ORICO 
PFU3-202I (also for $20) that has 2 external ports and one internal port.  And 
there is the ORICO PFU3-2P (for $16) with only 2 external ports, but some say 
it does not need to be connected to a power supply (like the others do).

Has anyone ever used any of these?  If so, did they work fine with Mavericks 
(or at least Mountain Lion)?

Thanks,

Gregg
