There may be problems if you use the same USB controller for audio and file access. Most PCs have multiple USB controllers. These can be identified in Windows 7 by using Device Manager with the connection view.
I added ESATA capability to my computer for $6.00 plus the external cable. This was necessary to get addressing capability for 4 TB drives, as my BLACK-X device was limited to 2 TB over USB 2.0. In addition, I/O performance via ESATA is much better than it was over USB. This matters to me, because my primary purpose is to do off-site backups. I have no idea how this cable or device might sound, as I do not use it for audio.
