USB 3.0?
 

Should I get a mobo with usb 3.0?
how useful and practical is it? so far, I haven't seen much device offering usb 3.0 (the only usb 3.0 flash drive I see on the market cost 20x more than 2.0...)

How long do you think it will take for usb 3.0 to become more common and economical?
And practically, how much faster is USB 3.0 compare to 2.0 (practically, not theoretically, because there are always other factors and bottlenecks limiting the speed)

probably in about a year or so usb 3.0 prices will drop.

super newb question..but does having 3.0 compliant products only benefit things like data transfer (USB drives...external HDD via USB)?

Would we actually see a difference between a headphone or mouse that uses 2.0 versus 3.0?

I havent even seen a mouse that is usb 3.0 yet on the market, I think another benefit of 3.0 besides fast transfer speeds is that it carries more power than 2.0 did, so in theory portable drives would only require one usb port instead of using the 2 port usb Y cable

lol at the 2 consecutive titty avatars

A full size HDD on USB 3.0 is almost as fast as the same drive on SATA. It's absolutely worth getting, if you plan to get something like this.

thanx...looks definitely worth getting from the speed test :thumbsup:


lol...wtf happened to my avatar???
i didn't do that
