rurushu · 04-01-2008, 02:09 PM

WTF???? Such speeds are actually achievable???? Well, if you ask me, im kinda excited and would definitely wanna try some but in the same time, im kinda frustrated coz i just bought my new comp last year with USB 2.0. Dont tell me i have to change it to USB 3.0 so fast??? *sob sob* T.T

Well, I'll wait for a few more revisions of it and also until I get something I could use it for.

In other words, a long time from now.

I still haven't even gotten around to changing my DVD drive to SATA.

I just don't care about 3.0, 2.0 is good enough for me, don't see any reason to get a new computer especially since i've just upgraded this head of junk

4.8 Gigs/sec ?
THE FUCK ?

Eh, I don't really use USB thumbdrives too often so not much for me.

I'm waiting for them to release the next PCI-e for better video cards.

No...Not 4.8 gigs a second, Divide it by 8 and thats your speed...

Hell. Yes. That's all that needs to be said. With this release, I can imagine USB taking over even more segments of my computer, till it actually becomes the universal connector. I'm looking forward to a USB Video Connector. Though, imagine if all the plugs on the back of the computer looked exactly the same. The one greatest feature I want to see in 3.0? For it to supply more than 500 mA of power.

Im curious as to how this will affect development of USB video cards (the external ones that allow for additional displays) since the stream is significantly faster now

starfire · 04-21-2008, 05:43 PM

Yeah, usb video would be awesome.

I'd actually like to see more speed out of my usb drive, so I can download stuff in portable firefox without killing it's responsiveness

USB is not like other things where they look to make it better, just for the hell of it. I think this is awesome seeing as sooo may people use USB 2.0 to transfer stuff... There isn't even of question if USB 3.0 is going to support USB 2.0 devices (YES) I think that this isn't going to raise prices too much if any now processors make computer costs go up!
