USB 3.0 Host Support

[mozzie]

Hi

I am running ESX 5.1 and my Mobo has USB 3.0. Can I use USB 3.0 DAS appliances and benefit from using the full speed that USB 3.0 offers when creating new datastores on this DAS? I am thinking of purchasing the new Drobo Mini which has USB 3.0 support.

Cheers.

Hi,

Have a read of this article: http://tinkertry.com/esxi-5-1-sort-of-supports-usb-3-0/

This article explains the tests performed within Guest VM's. I want to know whether the host itself is fully supporting USB 3.0 for creating datastores etc.
