Overheard: USB 3.0 is on its way

Posted by: Margaret Rouse

FireWire, Technology, USB 3.0

According to official specifications, USB 3.0 will officially be known as SuperSpeed USB and carry with it a whopping bandwidth of 5 Gbps, which is roughly 1 CD’s worth of data (650 MB) per second.

Tuan Nguyen, SuperSpeed USB More Like HalfSpeed

Ok now it makes sense that Apple ditched FireWire.
