USB 3.0 Expansion PCI-E Card | Dell Optiplex 790

Hey, everyone!

Let's install a USB 3.0 PCI-E card into a computer which only has USB 2.0 ports. Not having USB 3.0 in a system may not be a big deal for a lot of people but some do prefer having the faster transfer speeds.

The system we're using is the Cobra Kai-5 budget gaming system:

We purchased an inexpensive card from eBay (but other retailers do sell similar cards):

The card cost $9.75 (at the time of this video) and I've purchased two since one was needed on my father's build. Overall it was easy to install and no driver installation was needed on Windows 10. The card does require external power and it's provided with a SATA power connector from the power supply. The increase in speed is certainly noticeable when testing the following hardware:

WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 250GB HDD (WD2500BEKT)
Hitachi 2.5" 500GB HDD(HTS547550A9E384)
PNY 128GB Turbo Flash Drive
SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive https://amzn.to/2CNBlIA

The hard drives were enclosed in:
ORICO USB3.0 to SATA III 2.5" External Hard Drive Enclosure for 7mm and 9.5mm 2.5 Inch SATA HDD/SSD Tool Free [UASP Supported] Black(2189U3) https://amzn.to/2B6VYzb
Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA I/II/IIIHard Drive Adapter (EC-SSHD) https://amzn.to/2CR51ED

We did test the following enclosure but the system had trouble recognizing it through the USB 3.0 ports only, though USB 2.0 worked:
