In a way, waiting for the USB 3.0 and its higher data transfer speed seemed endless throughout the year. After all, as the solid state hard drive review were thrown, that saw the adoption of new technology would not be as fast as you wanted.
The good news is that, judging by what is observed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011, things are changing, and USB 3.0 will be a reality for the end user long before he thinks - unlike what happened with the USB 2.0, which, one year after launch, it was still a distant dream.
The beauty of the new standard is, of course, its speed, but also the promise of improving the management of high-definition video, music and digital imaging applications, the exchange between external hard drive for laptop. Another improvement is about the energy savings - almost 70% better - because the devices do not need to be loaded at any given time, like an iPod on standby, will not be.
It is important to remember that the speed depends on the external hard drive deals used. Do not expect an external device connected via USB 3.0 has a performance as good as a hard drive or SSD raided.
