USB 3.0 delayed till some time in 2011

[PracticalMac]

At least Intel is delaying, others putting them in, but over all that means longer time before USB 3 will be well supported.

So if you want high speed transfer of data from a computer, its either eSATA or
FireWire for now.

And since Apple has not been installing eSATA, that means they should be installing their own FireWire products.

BTW, anyone notice that eSATA drives are expensive and do not preform well??

It's not Apple that postponing USB 3.0 support, it's Intel.

Well, same question to them I suppose...

So wait... Intel are working on USB3 as well as this new optical thingamabob? Is Intel about to create for itself a complete farce of standards by trying to run two simultaneously?

*grumble* I'm off back to resurrect SCSI. I don't care how daft it sounds.

Good luck with that daisy chain.

Good luck with that daisy chain.

Maybe I'll be able to connect my PM6200 to my Mac Plus and create some kinda early-90's supercomputer!

Or maybe I'll just return to drooling over the new iMacs. I think this is more likely.
