We still live in USB 2.0. I don’t know of any computer that supports version 3.0. However, everyone is waiting for 3.0 because it will be much faster than 2.0. Good news is that Symwave has brought it for the consumers. They are displaying such a storage device at CES 2009. I think that at this moment, companies rather than individuals will be interested about this unique storage device.
I am quoting from their press release:
Symwave, Inc., a semiconductor supplier of highperformance analog/mixed-signal connectivity solutions for the PC, consumer and mobile devices, today announced collaboration with Seagate to demonstrate Symwave’s USB 3.0 storage controller device designed to comply with the SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) specification revision 1.0. The technology demonstration is the world’s first consumer product application of USB 3.0 and will take place at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 8-11, 2009. The demonstration will showcase streaming data to and from a commercially available external storage device at speeds previously unattainable with legacy USB technology.
Seagate’s award-winning FreeAgent® family of external storage solutions will be used to demonstrate the read-and-write transfer speeds of USB 3.0. Seagate was selected for this display of technology due to the company’s industry leadership position and reputation for maintaining a high-level of technological innovation. The USB 3.0 specification is a rapidly emerging technology
