yeah ive read a similar article on techradar.com, i wonder if this is gonna be the end of firewire interfaces??...Kinda makes me want to hold off on upgrading my laptop but end of 09-10 is so damn far away...Grrrrrr...
Yeah, I think you can rest comfortably for at least another year until it pops out, but it is indeed very impressive. I mean, transferring a 25 GB HD movie in less then 70 seconds is impressive.

whilst this would work in theory I dont think Hard Drives are yet up to this transfer speed.. I know Solid States are starting to show promises of transfer rate but its going to be a while before storage catches up to transfer rate... just look at gigabit ethernet and copying files.. yes its faster but you cant max it out copying 1 file like you would hope.
I wonder how it will fair with latency, its one thing to send huge ammounts of data in a short time, but its another thing to achieve really low latency. I look forward to seeing how it performs with usb 3.0 soundcards

Well.. actually hard drive band-with is not exactly the root of the problem...
It's the FSB (Front Speed Bus) that is the bottleneck.
USB 3.0 will be a sweet test now with Intel's new I7 chipset. FSB architecture is gone now.. and Intel'sQuickPath Interconnect, delivering up to 6.4 GT/s should be interesting...
