The EJ168 certainly sounds like it can do the business, according to the documentation provided by EtronTech they are a world class IC design company. The chip itself is touted as being the world’s fastest USB 3.0 controller and the first to be interoperable with USB 2.0 and 1.1. EtronTech also claim their drivers are WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) tested and certified.

Tell me Ket, if the Etron controller "is the first to be interoperable with USB 2.0 and 1.1." why do you make the users "silly" if they plug USB2 devices into USB3 ports?

The world’s fastest USB 3.0 controller.
