could you tell me how you get it working? I have an MBP 17" mid 2010 and installed the genericusbxhci v1.27/26 and every time the card is plugged in a got a kernel panic with mavericks on boot up. I've got the same ITEC USB 3 card but it doesn't work for me. Without this cable, the card will crash when the HDD starts spinning (with USB sticks or self powered hard drives it's not needed of course). Sadly I couldn't test my external 2.5" disk yet, because the USB cable is too wide to insert it beside the cards power cable. Speed is fine, got about 110MB/s write and 180MB/s read with my SanDisk stick.
Only issue so far: It disappears during sleep, so I have to pull it out and insert it to make it work again. Got it today, installed GenericXHCI and it worked fine. The problem is, I couldn't seem to find any express cards using these chipsets at all, so there's currently no native USB for older MacBook Pros.Īs there seems to be no "perfect solution", I've ordered the ITEC USB 3.0 Express Card for about 17€: It features a NEC/Renesas chipset and an extra power plug for external hard drives. From what I've read, some people complain that 10.8 killed their USB3 card (mostly FL1000-based), but no one has come up with a solution, so I think currently there's nothing we could do.Īs mentioned above, there are some PCI Express based USB3 expansions that are supported natively (FL1009 and FL1100). NEC based) are left in piece because the device ID is unknown.

I could imagine that the native Apple driver tries to initialize our express cards which fails because of the unsupported chipset. Our AKE USB 3 express cards use the Fresco FL1000 chipset. OSX 10.8 added native USB 3 support for Intel controllers and some newer Fresco chipsets (I think FL1009 and FL1100). Is there any express card like that? The first point is definitely a must, the others would be nice to have. chipset that works with the native OSX driver, so I don't have to fiddle with any kexts after system updates possibility to get extra power from an USB port, so I can run 2.5" hard drives without power adapter short 1-port Express Card 34, that can reside inside the MacBook all the time (just like the old AKE one: )

Same happened after a clean install (even without any drivers installed), and same happens with 10.9, so I think I'll need a new express card (unless one of you knows how to fix that). When I boot with the express card inside the slot, OSX will freeze with a gray screen (verbose mode says that it just finished scanning PCI devices). Since I upgraded to 10.8, the card will instantly freeze my MacBook when it's inserted. About two and a half years ago I bought an AKE USB3 Express Card, which used to work quite fine with decent speed using PXHCD, only had some minor bugs.

I own a late 2008 MacBook Pro running 10.9.
