Does anyone know of a product like this for USB 3.0? Or is it not feasible/reasonable for such a product to exist?

Thanks. :)
 
i dont think any such thing exists yet.


also, gigabit ethernet would cripple its speeds. gigabit caps at 125MB/s, while USB 3.0 is more like 300MB/s (realistic speeds, not the advertised BS speeds)

The bottleneck is a real bummer but I was thinking it might still be useful. Some of my clients like to put their computers a long way from their play/work area and could use more than the 60MBps provided by USB 2.0, even if they can only get double that.

yeah, but i think USB 2.0 over ethernet may be where it stops. thunderbolt/lightpeak is the new tech that will take over in that area.
