If you really need USB3 can go get PCIe USB3 addon.

imho eSATA is still better for External HDD.
Using USB2 on USB3 boh simi real speed gain.

eSata is nice in theory only. In practical, it hardly ever works.

Works fine for my external HDD dock.
Speed also very constant.

I bought the Asrock B75M DGS for my father. Seems quite ok. Although haven't change to USB 3.0 casing yet.

You need
1) Your Mobo to have eSATA or go buy eSATA expansion slot.
2) Your external HDD need to support eSATA
3) You need eSATA Cable
