The shift towards USB 3.0 enabled SuperSpeed desktop computers, laptops and netbook systems is well underway. Many computer accessories are just aching to break past the speed limitations of USB 2.0 - most notably for a USB 3.0 Drive which can provide immediate and dramatic benefits for copying, transferring and backing up data in a fraction of the time it currently takes.
The USB 3.0 spec's 5GBps bandwidth far exceeds the capabilities of any hard drive mechanism currently made, even the fastest currently shipping Solid-State SSD drives. So those who've made the switch to a SuperSpeed drive are typically seeing real-word 2x to 3x backup speed improvements - with plenty of unused bandwidth of USB 3.0's theoretical 10x increase.
Ultimately - as we're already seeing with USB 3.0 hard drive
market - the meager cost differences of building a computer with a USB 3 controller chip have become trivial. USB 3.0 backward compatibility with legacy USB 2.0 and even 1.1 devices preserve the functionality your current computer peripherals - and open the door to the next generation of high-speed USB3 gadgets.
