Best USB 3 card for Mac Pro 2009 running Mojave

[Rohanpainter]

Hi,
What is the fastest and well performing usb 3.0 card that I can buy for Mac Pro early 2009 running Mojave.

I have heard from somewhere that with some cards it splits speed somehow when transferring from a USB 3.0 hard drive. Because of having limited ports, which I don’t want.

So what would be the best choices for me to transfer data through USB 3 hard drives, On my older Mac Pro that just has USB 2.0

Thanks in advance.

I have one of these in an expansion chassis off my nMP trashcan. Works great for me.

Thanks for your reply
Any usb slot cards would be really great than the USB -C
Does it give you good data transfer rate ?

I don’t have a Mac with builtin USB-C to compare, but the transfer rates are virtually identical to a USB-C external ssd using this on my Mac pro as I get on an Intel Hades NUC which has native USB-C
