I got USB3 covered and have had for a long while now.
All good, I get between 60-90Mb/s from my USB3 enclosed external hdd. So once I get this USB3 reader, the USB interface won't be the bottleneck.
I'm just going to hazard a guess with what I believe this Patriot card to be capable of, and I reckon it'll be a good 40Mb/s once it's allowed to work properly.
LOL on the Mac users USB3/2 concerns.
USB3 is fully backward compatible with USB2 that I know of .. in fact when you have issues with your USB3 connection, the work around is to revert back to USB2 to get the device working again.
Strangely enough I've had this issue and can say from experience .. if your USB3 device suddenly stops connecting via the USB3 connection, there's a very high probability that connecting it to a USB2 port will get it going again!
(had this problem with a problematic USB3 HDD docking station .. that still isn't resolved!)
