bring it on!! looking forward to it. good speeds.
Comment made about the PC Authority article:
USB 3 creeps closer?
First unveiled at IDF in 2007, the new system supports speeds of up to 4.8Gb/s, compared to the 480Mb/s speed of the USB 2.0 standard..
What do you think? Join the discussion. |

So far, the evolving speeds of USB have been fine for my needs, perhaps it is because I am generally more patient than many people I see. I honestly believe that most people should agree.
Sure, I would appreciate additional speed, but really only desire it in the context of a new application: I would dearly love to bele to plug a USB drive into any computer anywhere and have my OS, configuration, applications and data all just there. In that case, the quantity of information going back and forth is likely to overwhelm anything less, given the number of simultaneous windows and tabs I often stare at.
The truth is that even my 4 month old desktop seldom achieves anything like the full 480MB/s speed it can theoretically achieve. So getting a new USB3 PC and Flash devices isn't likely to really be much faster for some time. |

Let's see now.
USB 1.1 was fullspeed and was rated at 12Mb/s
USB 2.0 was high speed and was rated at 480Mb/s
USB 3.0 will be what? "Fairly fast" and rated at 4.8Gb/s
Gotta love the marketing people.=d>
Just read to the end of the article. SuperSpeed then? so much for convention then=p~

holey moley a V8 lawnmower could be lethal. espe if it gets away. and imagine the cost of fuel/gas/*insert other ridiculously priced alternative here* but with a USB port maybe you can script it to automate lawnmowing. think we might be on to something here :-k |
