I read a few other articles a who;e back and USB 3.0 is supposed to pull less energy yet still faster@ That’s pretty awesome…. What do you think they’ll do about laptop interfaces?

Why would you ever want more than 1,8 meter cable? I am using eSata and have approx 50-70mb/sec transfer. Works incredible well, easy as USB! And the new eSata will be powered by the eSata cable!!…

Wireless USB (UWB)is already being sold, such as in Lenovo notebooks, like the ThinkPad X300.

re (@25):

3.28ft is 3ft + 0.28ft, where 0.28ft is just over 1/4 of a foot (that’s one foot split into 4 equal lengths). oh screw it… rednecks: it’s just a little over 3 feet.

Hey Pepe LePuke, 1 meter is over 3 feet, it’s 39.xx inches. You can now get back to not bathing, Guy LeDouche.

eSATA have a very limited range less than 1 meter (for the rednecks here it’s less than 3 feet)… compared to the current USB2.0 standard which is 5 meters max (again rednecks less than 15 feet)…

USB3.0 will probably support less devices on one hub than earlier specifications. I recently destroyed firewire cable and this S**T is really heave shielded, USB3.0 cables will be probably very expensive (to support such bandwidth they will be shielded like hell).

Also it should be noted that eSATA devices still require external power sources.

I would be interesting to see if USB 3.0 lives up to its hype or if its only marginally better.
