Can someone recommend me a stable and reliable USB 3.0 PCI-e card for my Mac Pro (Westmere)? It should be compatible with 10.6.8, 10.7.5 and 10.8.3. There are already two cables from my Radeon 5870 connected to the motherboard, therefore there is no place for a power cable. Find great deals on eBay for usb 3 mac pro. Shop with confidence.

That isn't too much of trouble to deal with at all. I also have the dual High Point card but they were awfully slow updating 10.8 drivers, assuming they have yet. I pulled the card from my MP.
Some have said a generic driver works on it. Lots of info here. Click to expand.I use the Inatek KT-4004 PCIe card.but in snow leopard you require drivers.

EXCELLENT SOLUTION, IT WORKED PERFECTLY (I only installed the USB3 drivers for Inatek KT4004 card to work on Snow Leopard, card works fine in OS Sierra). I know that POST was from like 2014.
And it's like 2017/2. But the above solution worked perfectly for me!
I ONLY INSTALLED THE USB3 DRIVERS, nothing else form the giant list of MultiBeast installer options and it worked perfectly with my KT4004 card from Inatek that I bought on Amazon way back in 2014. I only planned to use it on my Silver MacPro with the newest Mac OS Sierra, which that card works flawlessly with that Mac OS, but it does not work with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I was not planning on using the USB3 card with Snow Leopard, until the last Mac OS Sierra update killed my Apple Compressor version 3 working on the newest Mac OS, so I've been having to boot into Snow Leopard to use the old Compressor, problem is all my media is delivered to me on USB 3 hard drives! Long story, which I won't go into. Anyway, I installed ONLY the USB 3 drivers from MultiBeast and voila!
It's working, the USB3 card KT4004 is now working on Snow Leopard 10.6.8! No more unplug, replug multiple times to USB3 and USB2, no only USB3, which cuts my time in half when editing LITERALLY!
I'm a Producer/Editor and recut all of a SONY Studios company, all of their shows for VOD and NetFlix streaming. A lot of work. It only took me about 6 months to find this. I didn't really need this, but it is definitely very, very helpful!
I was having to work in Mac OS Sierra to do the edit, then reboot into Snow Leopard to compress files using Compressor v3. Now I can just stay in Snow Leopard (except the part where I design my Apple App's, which I must be in Sierra to do that. Maybe I'll just boot up my other MacPro for App design?).
