Intel Delays USB 3.0 Support Until 2011

When it comes to backing up large amounts of data, many computer users will agree that USB 2.0 speeds are simply not fast enough. This has led to eSATA and other connectivity solutions that can provide more bandwidth than USB 2.0 is capable of for the storage industry.

Those looking forward to the wide rollout of USB 3.0 will be saddened to hear that the specification has been dealt a setback. This summer, expectations were that USB 3.0 devices and computers supporting USB 3.0 would be available before 2010.

Unfortunate for USB with so many storage solutions being strangled by USB 2.0; but a blessing for the alternatives. I think we can expect a lot more eSATA product support during 2010. And could firewire get another chance on the PC? Probably not, but now's perhaps the last chance.
