This card may be expensive, but it just rules:
CalDigit FASTA 6GU3Prohttp://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00IFHXIAY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Main benefits:
- USB3 speeds rock (see also my entry on USB3)
- System boots from card (however this was rather tricky because you need power supply for your SSD; I finally succeeded by placing the SSD below the DVD drive in the empty cradle slot, where you can also find exactly ONE spare power supply; having the SATA cable from the internal connector of the card into the cradle has been very very tricky)
Minor drawbacks:
- powered USB3 hub provides very different results, in a nutshell, do not connect powerful USB3 gadgets, such as external drives, via the hub, but directly on the backside of the Mac, this is a bit tedious
- boot time became a bit longer because it takes the system a bit longer to find the boot drive, actual booting times are of course a breeze
