USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008
Get ready, speed freaks. USB 3.0, the oft-rumored, much-discussed, rarely seen new standard heading our way has been spotted, sliced, chopped, and diced at CES 2008. Actually, we just got a chance to check the connectors and compare with the old 2.0 standard (which the reps tell us is backward compatible, of course). With speeds of 4.8 Gbit/s (600 MB/s), and a powering system which intelligently cuts the juice when you're not using a device, we have a feeling you'll want. Too bad we all have to wait till 2010... the year we make contact... with USB 3.0.

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008
I prefer FireWire and that is being upgraded too. The best part is that, unlike USB 3.0, the new FireWire standard will use the same port that FireWire 800 currently uses. Great stuff!
USB is ahead on the release count though.

No, it's written wrong. It is 600Mbps.

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008
Who cares about speed if its faster than the current one. But the main question is at 2010 this speed will be like infra red transfer of today. What say guys?

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008
When you have bought a motherboard with USB 3.0 ports and grinning and showing off, your neighbour would have bought a USB 4.0

I agree with you.
Maybe we will have something like 6GBps.

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008

^^There is no "Ultimate" There is always something beyond that

Re: USB 3.0 debuts at CES 2008
What's the new firewire interface? Any link or something?
Anyway, ever since I've used Firewire, I realise that USB's speeds are just a gimmick. Here's hoping that it will actually be 600MBps...
