The problem with USB 3.0 is that there is a new Firewire spec RIGHT around the corner that is even faster than USB 3.0. So before it exists, USB 3.0 is already obsolete.

 

edit - nm. apparently the 3.0 throughput is still higher, or at least has the potential for such. Most USB doesnt reach its max throughput. FW 3200 will allow for 3.2 ghz even on older FW hardware.

Huh??? USB is far more widely supported, and do you have some links to the expected firewire specs?

 

 

Here you go, as requested - http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-10141810-76.html

That's the wrong link, since it's the one I posted.

 

But it also tells you the firewire specs in it. Not good enough? Ok - try this. http://cooltechcheck.blogspot.com/2008/12/usb-30-vs-firewire-3200.html
