For those reading this and wanting a similar upgrade, it should be noted that your desktop or laptop has to have a USB 3 port in order to make full use of a USB 3 device. (You can't just plug a USB 3 device into a USB 2 port and get a performance increase). I realize that this is a "duh" for most of us, but just adding it for those who may not be quite the technical geniuses that the rest of us are. :D
