Despite the fact that today's USB 3.0 products center on the same NEC controller, we compared a handful of different USB 3.0 drives and found performance to range from 113 to 173 MB/s, depending on the implementation used. Should you be worried?
You might think that the performance of one USB 3.0-equipped product would be (or at least should be) the same as another. If so, you'd be wrong. We found that five different components, all based on the NEC controller, deliver different performance.
Doesn't seem like it's ready for prime time, does it? This reminds me of the significant performance differences at stock speeds of mobos in the 90s which used the same chipsets.
