The first motherboards that supports storage interface, USB 3.0 has already been launched and while it has also emerged a number of expansion cards for those who want to take advantage of technology without replacing parts on their computer. USB 3.0 has the potential to provide up to 10 times higher data rates than today's USB 2.0 interface. Move data at 400-500MB / s is impressive whichever way you turn it on, to an external storage device, it is almost difficult to understand when you have so long been fixed at 30-40MB / s for many years.

Hand in hand with the first external has now also the first performance tests started to appear. At TweakTown has published several interesting tests with a USB 3.0 Enclosure and Intel's X25-M SSD-G2 unit. The results are not 10 times higher than USB2.0 but the important thing is that USB 3.0 more or less makes one of the fastest SSD drives into a bottleneck.

Several tests are USB 3.0-unit pace with internal SATA 3Gb / s connection, until the loss of the USB controller allows the external storage device loses something. But data transfer rates of 200MB / s + is nothing to be ashamed of when we're talking about the first generation of USB 3.0 products and a sweat andes SSD drive.
