Will this be a good solution for a P55-usb3-rev1 with an I7 860?

Because of the "Smart Quickboost" feature on the Motherboard looks like it would work great. However im not an expert on gigbyte products.

It has two USB 3 headers for front facing USB ports and 6 on the back end. You're link just goes to the main page of Amazon, so no processor info was available. You should be good as long as you are using a processor based on the 1150 socket. Go here for the CPU support list: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4519

By the way look at the user manual that is available online so you can verify if is compatible with the processor you want

So long as your system has an open USB port, this device should work fine. I've just bought 2 more of these (total of 3) and have been very pleased so far.

It should work good if you have a USB port. I use it with an Optiplex also.

Completely agree with Superdell. It's pretty obvious where it will plug in on the MB. You should be fine.

Yes. In the product description the manufacturer says that it is backwards compatible with most USB peripherals. That means it supports older hardware running on older usb technology. The manufacturer also explains that the power through-put is higher too. So, while not testing it, I think you will be fine. Plus you will have a cable capable of transferring data at really high speeds.

as long as you have a pci slot on your board. this has worked flawlessly for me for years now. true 2.0 speed.

Honestly, I don't see why not. I need this because of the interface between my motherboard and external connectors that had been broken while moving on my tower. The replacement was an upgrade to USB 3.0. My Tower 7 was years old custom built, but still faster than 75% of the PC being sold today. Worked like a charm and all I have to do is remove this connector when I decide to upgrade. Give it a shot, if not, send it back.

If the port is a USB 1 or 2 compliant port, then yes; this unit is backwards-compatible with the older standards and should be usable.

Absolutely. Any PC supports USB 2.0 and 1.1. Some support 3.0 if you have the hardware.

Yes! that is exactly what I did, but you will only get USB 2.0 speeds I haven't had any problems with mine.

Correct. As in the description...2 of the 4 USB ports on top are 3.0. Of course, your mainboard will need to have 3.0 headers to connect these to.

I cannot answer this for sure but if your USB ports have always worked god and your running anything from Xp forward I would order it if it was me.

Yes it works great with Windows 7; but the real question is does your motherboard have an X1 slot? I bought the Apricorn Velocity Solo X1 so that I could mount Samsung840Pro 256GBSSD on a card vs having it float around in the computer case. As far as I know the usb 3. Q is not a relevant question.

i have no issue with this unit..love it actually, only con is usb needs to be connected to mother board.

Assuming your machine is newish and has a PCIe slot, you shouldn't have any issue.
