I mean you can get these ports on modern notebooks but you still have to supply power to whatever you plug in.

In other words, an "experimental 4.8 Gbps" is not as good as an actual, real world 3Gbps transfer rate, and, if USB 3.0 inherits the same lag in continuous transfer speed that plagues USB 2.0, then even the real world 4.8 Gbps won't be able to beat Sata II's current 3Gbps in any application for which anyone would care to have that much bandwidth. <br><br>This is an incredible development for the film/video and VFX industries; Sata and DAS is cheap compared to fiber, and gives better speeds/bandwidth than even FW800.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[seth.estrada]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2008 6:42PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
