We’re drowning in data and sometimes USB 2.0 just isn’t fast enough to move all those bits around. At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, we were shown prototype USB 3.0 boards and cables that were transferring at 307+ megabytes per second. On paper USB 3.0 promises to be ten times faster than 2.0 and has the potential to transfer 600 MB/sec. The USB 3.0 coalition proclaims this is fast enough to transfer a 27 GB HD in just 60 to 70 seconds.
