Hmm how are usb 3.0 devices really useful when major companies are still not 'officially' supporting it on the chipsets. I, personally, will wait until 3.0 is actually supported before jumping on the bandwagon.

Would love one right now, but damn Intel and there super rich selfs can just hold off for no ligit reason, talk about hault of innovation just glad there out there.

I won't be buying a new laptop just to get USB 3.0 .... but if someone like Super Talent makes a PCMCIA card or Express Card with two USB 3.0 ports in it (hopefully running at near USB 3.0 speeds), then the number of folks who will start buying USB 3.0 products will multiply significantly. If folks have to buy a new PC just to use a new technology like USB 3.0, then it's market growth will be slow.

This is cool! Even SSDs' can't reach 320 MB/s speed. This is "Megabyte" not "Megabit", right? Also, what about SATA 3.0 that we began to see in expensive mobos, especially Intel ones? You install the hdd into a PCI-like slot.

Most of the specs I've seen on USB flash drives have pretty low read/write speeds. They're not even fast enough to saturate USB 2.0. I'm guessing that flash drives fast enough to benefit from USB 3.0 are going to be pretty pricey.

This is all well and good, but we will not be able to use them to their full potential till at least 2011 so you might as well wait until the standard is released and then look at buying one as they will have better specs in the future!

Right now getting a card that has USB 3.0 is the cheapest way. I will not upgrade my MB just to get USB 3.0.

Man, people read a headline and think they know it all. What if Intel delays USB 3.0 chipsets to 2011. Intel is not the only chipset manufacturer in the whole world. Already Asus and Gigabyte have support for USB 3.0 with the help of third party chipset manufacturers like NEC, that doesn't mean they are less good or they underperform. A lot of USB 2.0 enabled devices today work with third party chipsets.

The "world's first USB 3.0 flash drives" are not really a suprise, but I can assure you that they will burn a hole in your pocket just for being FIRST.

While cool, I think there kind of jumping the gun on this one. Not sure if it'll play in there favor or not but I certainly would think most reasonable people wouldn't bother with this until usb 3.0 is widespread..which may not be till past 2011. Enthusiasts will get it probably...but i dont see it selling much beyond that for now.

Might be nice to think about but the pricing alone will be killer.. and from ST? Not a chance I'd touch it since ST has proven to have total crap customer support.

Always Intel is a bit against progress. When it was about adapting X64 CPU they have delayed it as much as possible. I think that they are just trying to make as much profit as possible from a old technology.

I so want one right now. I have been looking for a new fast and 16GB+ drive for some time now. But USB 3.0, I do not think I have enough $$$ or maybe even $$$$.
