Our comments :
Beginning next year, USB 3.0 will radically transform the external storage market as it will be adopted massively on NAS, HDDs, SSDs and USB keys (and why not optical and tape drives) following the implementation of the new cheap interface progressively into all the servers, PCs, notebooks, netbooks, smartphones, etc. USB 2.0 will expire as USB 1.0 in the past,.
USB 3.0 could be also a rival for all other serial interfaces - but SAS and FC - like FireWire and eSATA.
