How can I take advantage of MB SATA ports to have USB 3.0?
Hi, I own an HP Compaq Elite 8200 SFF, and I have 2 SSD's connected internally via SATA ports and power cables. The speed is wonderful. However, the PC only has external USB 2.0 ports in the case, and whenever I want to pass data from 1 external HDD to the PC or viceversa, having the 20MB/s limit is really, really annoying.
Here's my MoBo, HP 1495 (Intel Q67):

It's the first one, HP Elite 8200.
I've used the first 2 sata ports, which are SATA III, and I have left the other 2: a SATA II and an eSATA.
I've used the 2 middle PCI-e (GT 730), and only have left: a "PCI" and a "PCI Express x1".
What can I do?
I know some USB 3.0 PCI-e exists, but their prices are like $25, a bit expensive for what I want.
