Blimy:Yikes:

But can the external storage drives actually keep up with that kind of speed :erm:

Re: Next generation USB on the way USB 3
 

Wow ! That looks good :tu:

Re: Next generation USB on the way USB 3
 

I find wireless USB might have more practical use...

Actually on second though maybe not :erm: I already have hundreds of things to change/charge batteries in as it is.

They should focus more on making USB more reliable. I have a lot of problems when it comes to delayed writing errors to external HDs... :(

Sure that's not just a cheap external caddy :confused:
I had one that used to do that, but it was a very cheap and nasty caddy.

1 big bottleneck, IMO it just plain stupid to impliment these types of speed to us end users when we have nothing that would allow that type of through put.
5-10 years down the line when our HDD's can cope yes, maybe. Unless we all decided to go solid state by the time its released to the general public.

usb isnt just used to Hard drives.....so its all good.

Re: Next generation USB on the way USB 3
 

Cool :) :tu:

Re: Next generation USB on the way USB 3
 

but most of the devices used over USB won't need that kind of bandwidth yet ;)

Re: Next generation USB on the way USB 3
 

Potentially good news for us musicians/project studio recording enthusiasts if this provides a cheaper alternative to Firewire for connecting (low latency) external audio interfaces.

"yet"...

it will take them some time to sort anything out its not as if you can buy a usb 3 controller today. So in a few years time perhaps someone will make something that wants to shift data that fast and be very energy efficient..

or perhaps u should write to intel and tell them they are wasting time developing new toys.

Hence the Yet part of my last post....

I'm all for new toys but only If i get to play with them :p:
