i hate when companies and organization start naming things like "high speed" and "super speed." what is next, "super awesome speed?" or "super duper USB scooper?"

Ludacris Speed :roll:

Its either that or use a different language like Uber Speed. Gotta love the name game the marketing teams play.

The speed sounds very good. I hope this actually goes better than my USB 1.1 to 2.0 transition (in which I fried all my 1.1 stuff)

how did you do that?

I think I did that one time, but it didn't fry anything

But if he had the single wires and mixed them up, then I can definitely see it.

Nice 10x the speed...

Mussels · Nov 18, 2008

i forgot to say this before, but i was honestly expecting USB 3.0 to be a launch feature of the new core i7 motherboards. Kinda surprising that its late, and that they missed such a great opportunity.

found this, image of a USB 3.0 cable.

mlee49 · Nov 18, 2008

dude that looks like a USB type B with a FW400 ontop.

TheGuruStud · Nov 18, 2008

Looks like they changed it so they can sell "USB 3 super mega speed" cables for 25 bucks.

I always love how the 1.1 cables supposedly don't work for 2. Great marketing.

USB 3.0 will be the same - capping out at 300MB/s maximum. Great to have some headroom, but no faster than SATA-II... so hey, it sounds great for this generation of external drives.

Great for thumb drives

Whenever I do that, my PC doesn't POST

my system can already boot off of USB 2.0 flash drives and hard drives, so you most certainly could with 3.0.

The new cable may seem odd, but look at it again - its most definately USB 2.0 with extra wires, because it means you can use USB 2.0 cables to connect between USB 3.0 devices, albeit it at a lower speed.

Good thing, otherwise, I'd have to rant and rave when this hits shelves :laugh:

i like the design, as its going to be easy to explain to end users.

Its not so common nowadays, but certainly recall confusing moments trying to explain to people why their USB 1.1 port cant handle 2.0 speeds, and thats why their flash drive/external HDD is so slow.

With this, its easy - you can tell by the cable. you need "super speed" plugs on PC and device, and a "super dooper uber win" cable between them. Dont have all 3? then you're in slow mode.

I want SSD hard drives with USB 3.0 ports!

thanx mussels that's what i talk about super speed from usb

The bs lines companies use to get us suckers attention my personal fav "worlds first". Then again if companies were honest they woudnt sell bugger all.

metacritic rates the game at 91 but users rate it at 4.9

Mussels · Nov 18, 2008

Easy Rhino: why would users rate USB 3.0 a 4.9?

wrong thread, lol.
