Any ideas guys or am I being to premature in thinking my Linux install could handle everything?
Look forward to your thinking. Do I need a package or two?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, Ubuntu supports USB 3.0.
Linux started supporting USB 3.0 in the September 2009 release of the 2.6.31 kernel, and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala was the first version of Ubuntu to support USB 3.0.
Bug Alert (This bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal):
In Ubuntu releases older than Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, there is a bug in the XHCI (USB 3.0) kernel module that prevents suspend: Bug #522998.

USB 3.0 problem
Hi,
I found a problem with my notebook about USB 3.0 ports. Normally, if I don't connect any device to USB 3.0 during boot, they won't work. But if I connect sth at the beginning they works fine. I didn't check the speed if they work faster or not.
No solution was mentioned..................dathem
Other than the suspend issue, it shouldn't be a problem.
