eSATA is faster than USB 3.0 — at least right now
Posted on February 5, 2010 | No Comments
Most hardware manufacturers are finally rolling out USB 3.0 devices. We've seen motherboards, hubs, hard drives, and notebooks all rocking the new and improved USB standard. It's clearly the future of USB with backwards compatibility, dramatically faster speeds and full-duplex data transfers. That's great, but it's still not faster than eSATA right now.

Apple may or may not be testing USB 3.0 controllers
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
USB 3.0 is the future and, well, Apple likes to be on the edge of technology so it only makes sense that the company would be at least looking into implementing the new interface sometime real soon. After all HP is already shipping USB 3.0 in its Envy 15 series and that can't sit right with Apple fanboys. But all we know right now comes from a Digitimes report that basically states that Genesys Logic is denying reports that its providing Apple with controllers. So yeah, we don't really know anything.

There are some important differences and similarities between the two USB 3.0 options. First, while the PS110 is a portable solution and the My Book 3.0 is a desktop external, [...] -

Posted on January 25, 2010 | No CommentsThe future is here, everyone. Let’s check out the just-announced Seagate BlackArmor PS110 Performance kit. It’s Seagate’s first USB 3.0 product and it’s noice — where noice is slang for nice, and for the sole fact that it’s the first USB 3.0 drive I’ve tested. I’m a little excited. Features: USB 3.0 interface Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 7,200 [...] -
USB 3.0 now shipping in HP Envy 15 notebooks
Posted on January 14, 2010 | No Comments
The HP Envy 15 is ushering in USB 3.0 by becoming the first notebook from a mainstream brand to offer the new interface. USB 3.0 will come standard on models configured with a Core i7 CPU and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 GPU. The HP EliteBook will be getting the same treatment within the coming weeks. Exciting, I know.

The BlackArmor PS 110 Performance Kit includes not only a 500GB portable hard drive, but also a ExpressCard USB 3.0 adapter because, you know, no one really has a USB 3.0 yet.

The PQI Cool Drive U366 USB 3.0 flash drive can transfer files at 5Gbps
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No Comments
Get ready for the USB 3.0 flash drive enslaught. PQI has launched its first salvo and it looks mighty strong. The Cool Drive U366 comes equipped with a 64GB capacity and speeds up to 5Gbps/sec. That's ten times faster than USB 2.0, kiddies. Previously the only way to get that type of speed on a portable drive is to opt for an eSATA flash drive -- if you can find one -- and even then, most aren't as fast as this drive from PQI.

Posted on November 26, 2009 | No Comments

Last month, Asus announced the world's first USB 3.0 + SATA 6.0 PCI-E card. In May, NEC said they're going to release the first USB 3.0 host controller.

Asus’ U3S6: First USB 3.0 + SATA 6.0 PCI-E card
Posted on October 30, 2009 | No CommentsNot that USB 3.0 will be useful anytime soon—how long did it take manufacturers to finally get behind USB 2.0?—but Asus' U3S6 should be, provided it's not cancelled, the world's first USB 3.0 + SATA 6.0 PCI-E card. Better news: it's only $30.
