Behold! USB 3.0 is coming, and it is fast

August 19th, 2008. Published under Uncategorized. No Comments.

The good folk over at MaximumPC Magazine online (I subscribe to the good ol’ paper edition) have an informative article about USB 3.0 with pictures.  They even hack a cable to show a cross-section shot.  The new version is backward-compatible with 2.0 and 1.1, and 3.0 is spec’ed to be TEN TIMES faster than 2.0 at 480 Gbps.  That is sweeeeeet.
