Although still in the prototype stage, USB 3.0 is aiming for 10 times the bandwidth of current USB2.0 solutions, or approximately 5Gbps. Since this requires fiber optic cabling, USB 3.0 will add a length of optical data cable to the mix, though USB 3.0 will retain full compatibility with USB 2.0 (and, one assumes, USB 1.0 as well). |
Talk about fast, too bad we still have to wait a couple of years. |

Wonder what kind of storage will go along with that bandwith? Probably looking at flash drives in the near future that rival the portable HDDs of today. I would like to have a 120GB flash drive!  |
