Always nice to see a technology that obsoletes my entire array of peripherals.

There was also a brand new story or 29 about the Buffalo drive.

Perhaps firewire, despite advantages, will will end up on the losing end just like the Beta video format did to VHS. Not enough computers offered a firewire port while USB became ubiquitous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#USB_3.0
A new major feature is the SuperSpeed bus, which provides a fourth transfer mode at 4.8 Gbit/s. The raw throughput is 4 Gbit/s, and the specification considers it reasonable to achieve 3.2 Gbit/s or more after protocol overhead.

Got Bandwidth?

This may also do in SATA.

Good news for me because I’m the kind of guy who’ll be licking his chops at the prospect of USB 2.0 peripherals hitting bargain basement prices.
