Even if everything gets switched to LightPeak, how many USB devices are out there?

Don't even try to fire back "just buy a USB to Lightpeak adapter for each device". We all know how much people loathe stupidplug-to-3.5mm headphone adapters on cell phones.]]>Oct 7th 2009 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/
You mean like Apple backing display port which is it is now the defacto display plug standard, right? Oh wait, display port is hardly used by most of the industry - at all. While 95%+/- of current production display devices have HDMI, Apple goes for the obscure display port.Or while Blu-Ray gets wide acceptance as a storage medium, Apple sees it as a "bag of hurt" (which with Sony's Apple-esque control on the licensing aspect, I can kind of understand, though hes hurting possible sales of Pixar & Disney movies), which is nothing new on Apples part. They changed their mini-DVI plug with each redesign so you had to buy a new adapter. Hopefully Apple won't also see USB3 as a "bag of hurt" or I know a lot of video jockeys & storage freaks who will start seeing Apple as a "bag of a**".]]>Oct 7th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/
They'll be in stores soon.

No, really.]]>Oct 7th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/]]>Oct 7th 2009 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 5:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/
Does it make a difference? Especially at this stage in the game w/ no USB 3.0 hosts? Making a big deal of buying this would only prove someone to be a world's first fool who bought tires first and waited around for a car.]]>Oct 7th 2009 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/Oct 7th 2009 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/
Is there going to be any considerable performance gains for external non-SSD hard drives switching from 2.0 to 3.0? At least initially?]]>Oct 7th 2009 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/> "Is there going to be any considerable performance gains for external non-SSD hard drives switching from 2.0 to 3.0?

Maybe you'll finally be able to break free of the normal 30-40MB/s with USB 2.0

USB 2.0 is rated at 60MB/s... but it never gets there...]]>Oct 7th 2009 5:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/buffalo-ships-worlds-first-usb-3-0-hard-disk-drives-this-month/
