That may be a true prediction, but at the moment a SATA Express port plus the device to mount in the front panel is the only way I can find to get USB 3.1 Gen. 2 in the front of a desktop computer. I can find plenty of motherboards that offer ports accessible in the back of the computer, but I don't want to have to crawl around on the floor behind the computer to plug in a portable drive.
John, Perhaps a more parsimonious solution for you is to buy either a long USB cable or a USB hub supporting the speed you want, plug that into a socket on the rear of the motherboard and extend it to the front where it's easily reached.
