Do you spend too much time waiting for large files between the computers to crawl and external hard drive? Do not worry - USB 3.0 has already come. It not only can move data faster and provide more power, but it is compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
Developed by the USB Implementers Forum (via USB - IF) of the USB 3.0 specification promises super theory 5Gbit/sec maximum speed. With the USB 2.0 of 480Mbit/sec.
The key is integration of old and new NEC's μPD720200 controller chip. It has USB 2.0 and 3.0 for the transmission circuit can be used, what the plug now, this is the only game in town, the type differ, but for other companies, including Symwave, Fujitsu, and VIA, to see about their own USB 3.0 chips in the coming months.
usb 3.0 expresscards and devices in the first round for Windows Vista and Windows 7, Apple has not decided whether to support the new standards. The basis for the USB 3.0 software has been in the Linux kernel since last fall, and the required drivers are slowly coming out.
Have several available USB 3.0 devices. To test them, I use the Lenovo ThinkPad W510 USB 3.0 built-in I tried some new equipment, including Buffalo's DriveStation USB 3.0 for the HD - HXU3 variety of external hard drive; a Star Ultra high-speed USB 3.0 to SATA hard drive drive docking station with my current Western Digital WD Caviar Blue series external drive, and Seagate's BlackArmor USB 3.0 PS 110 performance kit, portable hard drive that contains a USB 3.0, ExpressCard software.
