The title is a little sensationalistic, I have to admit it, because despite USB 3.0 does exist for real, and it’s already available, it won’t hit us and our nice computers till 2010. Anyway what you can find here is a little list of its most important features which are going to benefit the use of HD technology since USB 3.0 has been specifically designed to carry heavy bunch of data.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 will be completely compatible with USB 2.0 and will”…brings significant power and performance enhancements to the popular USB standard while offering backward compatibility with billions of USB-enabled PCs and peripheral devices currently in use by consumers. Delivering data transfer rates up to ten times faster than Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) with optimized power efficiency, SuperSpeed USB is the next step in the continued evolution of USB technology.”. “With more than 2.6 Billion USB ports shipped in 2007 alone, the market opportunity for USB 3.0 should eclipse all other wired interconnect technologies combined,” said Brian O’Rourke, senior analyst with In-Stat. “According to our April-2008 report titled Wired USB 2008: SuperSpeed is Coming, the expected compounded annual growth rate for USB 3.0 from 2009-2012 isover 100%, reaching over 500,000,000 devices in 2012. The public release of the Revision 1.0 specification today and the actual silicon availability from Symwave are two catalysts for the rapid market adoption we projected.” If you want to know more, read the official press release here.
