Need PCIE 1x card with internal USB 3.0 and SATA headers
My new Mobo comes with only 4 SATA and 1 USB 3.0 (19 pin) headers. I have six total SATA devices and two front-panel 2x USB 3.0 panels. I'd like to add a PCIE card to help get these extra slots.
I've found cards that have 2x USB 3.0 headers, with 4x SATA headers, and with external USB/SATA, but I haven't found a card that has 1x USB 3.0 header and 2x SATA internal headers, which seems possible and would exactly fulfill my needs. Anyone have any tips?
I could just get both cards, I have 2 PCIE 1x slots. Or I could just get rid of two of my old HDs, I don't actually need them now that I have M2 slots and NAS. But I figured I would just check and see if anyone knew of a combo card that would let me keep all my legacy HDs in the case since I have plenty of room for them.

Update: I just went ahead and got a 3.0 header card. Will just ditch two of my old sata drives I don't actually need to have.
