Are you using your HighPoint RocketU 1144C with 100 series board without any problem? If I bought this card can I use it with iMac 17,1 SMBIOS?

I just use it with my two classic Mac Pros. The hacks have USB 3 support using the kexts in MultiBeast, so you won't need this card unless you are doing USB 3 to USB 3 drive large file copying as the 1143C/D cards are expensive. See my Gene build description for my the MultiBeast USB configuration selection. For consumer use, the motherboard built in USB 3 ports are adequate.

My all USB ports work without problem but its all full I need extra USB port. Actually I bought USB 2.0 Bracket but it doesnt work.

I thought maybe your card works with hack? I also saw this card which you shared link above Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 4-Port this is much cheaper but I am not sure these are compatible with hack? I really need extra USB port for my hack. I dont know what should I do so confused!
 
If it works on a Mac, it will work in a hack. To make an inexpensive investment, look at the Inateck KT4004 PCIe card in the above link. Read the Review of this card and the others. In the end, you must decide based upon your requirement(s) and budget.

Good luck!

What do you think about sonnet is it also work?

I specially want that cause sonnet doesnt have extra power connector thats mean no extra cable in my case :) I hate cable...

Edit: I read couple of reviews I think Sonnet not compatible with 10.11. It cannot support booting as the EFI's cannot be loaded prior to boot. Also crashing with Bluetooth.

I think Inateck will much better. Thank you.

No experience with it. No ability to predict the future.

You would need to know what specific USB3 chipset it uses.
 
ORICO PFU3-4P works without issue. Been using it for almost 2 years now.
