USB 3.0 SuperSpeedEver complained about your portable hard drive’s abysmal transfer rates? Or your 8 GB flash disk takes for ever to sync? Don’t fret! The USB 3.0 is on it’s way!

Set to be released on November 17 at the SuperSpeed USB Developers Conference in San Jose, the USB 3.0 will boast about 10 times faster with 5 gigabit per second (Gbps) data transfer speed. Here’s a quick comparison of USB data transfer speeds of a 25 GB HD movie:

  • USB 1.1: 9.3 hours
  • USB 2.0: 13.9 minutes
  • USB 3.0: 70 seconds

Devices will be equipped with the USB 3.0 and available to consumers in about 2009 or 2010 and will be backward compatible with USB 1.10 and USB 2.0.

Unfortunately for Windows XP and below users, the USB 3.0′s minimum operating system is set to start with Windows Vista’s specifications.
