Computer playtime morning – waiting for the USB 3.0 card to arrive (ETA today) so decided to clean up the corner where Balcony PC sits on a cardboard box to the left of the desk – so pulled everything out to vacuum the area. Also took the side panel off the box and gave it a good vac as well, and double check that the sole PCIe x1 slot is vacant – it is. Not long after courier arrived so we installed the card and included drivers – all OK.

Just finished cleaning and preparing and the courier has arrived, now that’s good timing – OK lucky.

Above: The card has 2 x 2.0 on the back and 2 x 3.0 on the front

Seagate Expansion 1TB USB 3.0 drive connected to one of the front 3.0 ports – working well.
