If we're getting into Greek, how about Tachyon? A faster-than-light particle (who cares if it exists or not). I think it's a little easier to read/pronounce for the average Joe than Ocyrhoe.

Given that USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2, that's not correct.

It's also no secret that current gen ROTATIONAL hard drives get choked up arpund current-gen USB and Firewire connections.

But since only in a very few instances do even current-gen SSD drives get "choked up around" SATA connections, why not just use eSATA instead for your portable drive?

Most newer laptops are coming with eSATA ports, as well as desktops, and you can power a 2.5 inch eSATA enclosure with a single USB 2.0 port.

Seems to me if I'm going to have to spend money on a super speedy external SSD drive, I might as well use an interace my computer already has.......

Since the relative speed difference is negligible in current gen tech........

I'l bet it's due to the ubiquitous nature of USB. Users of every level are already comfortable with the interface, and USB also bus powers devices unlike eSATA. ]]>Nov 20th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/
Yeah agree - though if they could now integrate power into the SATA spec it would be so much easier (few cables inside my pc and external SATA much more elegant)]]>Nov 24th 2009 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/Nov 20th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/Nov 20th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/ocz-needs-a-name-for-usb-3-0-solid-state-drive/
