Hi FreeBSD USB people,
Success report for a USB-3 PCI-Express card with FreeBSD-8.3 & device xhci.
The card seems to be an own brand or import + relabel by Conrad,
a German PC shop chain (they do mail order too, also in English URLs below).

With a Samsung Disc 2.5" 1.0 TB SATA HN-M101MBB (5400 RPM, 8MB 9.5mm)
USB-3 screwed metal enclosure) I've seen:
    78.3 Mbyte/s host=blak, USB3 dd no bs  reading from USB3 1T msdosfs
    81.1 Mbyte/s host=blak, USB3 dd bs=64k reading from USB3 1T msdosfs
(Of course raw USB3 spec. is higher: 4800 Mbit/s. USB2 480, USB1 12)
