Thanks for the fast replies guys! I'm almost tempted to go for one of the newer 2011 or 2011v3 motherboards to utilize the extra PCIe 3.0 lanes. Not only would that fully utilize the performance of my other components, but leaves me a lot of room for upgrade. While not a priority now, it would...

I'm looking to get a new motherboard and graphics card. I was thinking about the ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 since I have so many hard drives to hook up. As I was looking at the specs, I noticed the m.2 port utilizing PCIe 3.0 x4 (Ultra m.2). This would be useful for the SAMSUNG XP941 SDDs, which have...

I initially forgot to do that, but then the hub didn't work at all. Once I plugged it in, then the hub started working, but then the boot was slow.

I just upgraded my computer to USB 3.0 with an PCIe card. That works fine, but when I got a front panel USB 3.0 hub too, I started getting very slow boot times on Windows 7 (upwards of 3 extra minutes). But after the computer finally boots up, everything seems to work fine. Here's my hardware...
