Performance, unsurprisingly is way better.

Some irritating XHCI initialization was noted on reboots:

I am currently moving stuff around but it is fun to be able to put my 
old 2 disk USB 2 array into the 5 disk USB 3 array and have ZFS just 
flat out DO THE RIGHT THING.  Its fantastic.

Another thing I noticed is the lack of support by this vendor for SATA 
NCQ.  Not surprising, but SUPER irritating.  The drives I'm using 
definitely supported this in the their old USB 2 enclosures, but the 
only thing I can do is yell at the vendor.
