  • usb 3.0 means shit if the hard drive cant read and output data fast enough

  • I want Light Peak, it's 10Gb/s.  Twice as fast as USB 3.0

  • p.s. suptertalent hits speeds of over 300 MB/s from a flash drive.

  • eSATAp (eSATA + USB) is more economical and simpler. Why?

    1) Its already on 50% of the machine.

    2) 99% of machine have SATA. Upgrading on old machine simply require a zero driver USD 12 Delock bracket.

    3) Its compatible with USB 2.0 and can HotSwap! too.

    4) eSATA is found in NAS (need port multiplier feature)

    5) NCIX & Crunchgear have proven the simpler economical eSATAp is actually as fast if not faster than USB 3.0

  • @marcohde19 if you want there is already a laptop with 3.0 the Asus N82jq-a1 it was released in july it has i7 and Nvidia with 1gb dedicaded memory

    I have it and let me tell you it packs a punch for gaming needs or really anything else hope you find something ;D

  • I'm waiting for a vendor like Gateway or Dell to sell consumers a desktop which supports USB 3.0 ports, I'm thinking this model must have at least Windows 7 64 bit, Intel CPU with core i5 or core i7, Bluray disc burner, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD hard disk, 7 channel digital audio, and a nice NVidia or ATI graphics card with HDMI 1.3a support,  I'm sure you can build an ASUS motherboard and each component separately, but I think it's better with vendor.

  • Ga-790xta-ud4!

  • Theres 3.0 motherboards now

  • I bet so, gonna happen soon
