USB 3.0 shaking things up

[Rudimental]

eSATAp for my external storage, please. With a 6 Gb/s controller, it is superior to USB 3.0 for storage in just about every way.

Bring it on!!

So glad I got an Asus motherboard with 2 X USB 3.0 ports.

Want to get a nice, big fat external hard drive with 3.0 support.

It's a pitty they are still so very expensive

This is the best approach.

Excellent Article.

I'm also an early adopter, and have opted for a USB 3.0 PCIe adapter, and I have already purchased two USB 3.0 external hard drives, and overall, I'm really impressed with the speed, but the bottleneck now comes in terms of hard drive throughput, or rather SATAII, although I'm sure once I get a SATAIII mobo, the benchmarks will be quite interesting!

Yes. eSata3 is faster than USB3. I was wondering why the author got this part wrong, until I saw who was the source of the article.

I do have a motherboard with USB3 and Sata3. But the harddisks are still too slow. Even my SSD drives do not need Sata3 yet. Hopefully the harddrive speeds will also increase nicely.
