USB 3.0 will crush eSATA, FireWire
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week. Here's why it will make eSATA and FireWire obsolete

Re: USB 3.0 will crush eSATA, FireWire
it'll be nice indeed... some seriously FAST as hell flash drives..
course hopefully by that time Sata 3 will become available which hints at some pretty nice figures.

Re: USB 3.0 will crush eSATA, FireWire
the max speed may be greater, but if it's still host/slave based like USB 1&2, then the latency is still going to be much higher than current firewire and esata...

Re: USB 3.0 will crush eSATA, FireWire
well the CPU usage will dictate the latency, which is unfortunately part of USB's Host/Slave architecture, firewire's peer-to-peer nature keeps the CPU usage and latency much lower that USB, giving it a much faster sustained transfer rate

Re: USB 3.0 will crush eSATA, FireWire
yup... that's why most people would rather use a firewire to interconnect machines or multiple machines vs a usb link......

same for high-access portable hard-drives and audio interfaces
