USB 3.0 Being Unveiled Next Week
Gearlog —
The long-awaited latest installment of the popular USB trilogy--the fittingly-named USB 3.0--is set to be formally unveiled next week at San Jose's SuperSpeed USB Developer Conference. Intel first made mention of USB 3.0 more than a year. Next week the final specs for the protocol will be formally announced.
Everything USB has the following speed comparisons for transferring a 25GB HD movie:
• USB 1.0: 9.3 hours
• USB 2.0: 13.9 minutes
• USB 3.0: 70 seconds
Windows 7 will likely not ship with native USB 3.0 support.
USB 3.0 to be Officially Announced
Gadget Venue —
... thing about USB 3.0 is the sheer speed at which data can be transferred. Speeds up to 4.8Gbps can be realised (if you have the hardware around it that can cope with that speed). Optical cabling will be used and power management also.
WinHEC 2008 made a comparison of how fast USB 3.0 really is…
USB 3.0 Comparison
* USB 1.0: 9.3 hours
* USB 2.0: 13.9 minutes
* USB 3.0: 70 seconds
70 seconds for 25 GB is just fantastic!

Super-Speed USB 3.0 Formal Unveiling Next Week, Windows 7 Won't Support Natively [Usb 3.0]
Gizmodo —
... specifications at the first SuperSpeed USB Developer Conference. But at WinHEC last week there also emerged a rumor that Windows 7 won't support version 3.0 natively, due to the time constraints involved...unless the OS suffers delays perhaps. The logo got a reveal there too—something we should all get used to. We'll all get comfy with the speeds of the new connection: at 4.8Gbps it'll shift a 25GB HD movie file in 70 seconds. USB 2.0 takes 13 minutes and USB 1.0 over 9 hours. [EverythingUSB] ...

... be present from the initial release. Hopefully adding USB 3.0 to the software will prove less of a struggle than doing so to Windows ‘98, supporting which has been the bane of many tech experts’ professional lives.
USB 3.0 uses new connections and cabling to increase bandwidth to 4.8Gbps. It also manages to reduce power consumption, including some clever use of standby management, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0.

Lifehacker —
[image] USB 3.0 will be unveiled next Monday , and so far the new specs for the protocol look incredible, promising 25GB transfers in a mere 70 seconds. To put that in perspective, the same transfer would take 13.9 minutes with the current USB 2.0 protocol and 9.3 hours on USB 1.0. Looks like the future of wired syncs and backups is bright and blazing. [ ...

... to offer an incredible 10 times the speed of USB 2.0.
Unfortunately for Windows users, there are rumours that Windows 7 won’t support USB 3.0 due to development time constraints…whether that is actually the case, time will tell.
To give you an idea of the difference in transfer speeds:
USB 1.0: 9.3 hours
USB 2.0: 13.9 minutes
USB 3.0: 70 seconds
Can you say fast?

Transfer up to 5GB in a sec with USB 3.0 launching next week

... in just 70 seconds over USB 3.0 connection. This is lightning fast, when compared to USB 2.0, in which case it took an agonizingly slow 14 minutes, while it took a torturous 9.3 hours on USB 1.0. The USB 3.0 speed, therefore comes out to be nearly 4.8 Gbps. Some other improvements in this new standard include better power management and the option of an optical interface. As for price, it is estimated to be too early to provide realistic cost or power estimates for USB 3.0 chips. Via
10x faster USB 3.0, coming soon to a gadget near you
DVICE Atom Feed —
... Expect computers and every other geegaws to be equipped with this speedy new system before too long. Besides that faster speed, the new protocol will feature better power management, and optical cabling inside, too. Neat.
How much faster will this new system, called "SuperSpeed," go? If you were transferring a 25GB HD movie from one place to another with USB 1.0, it takes 9.3 hours. With USB 2.0, just under 14 minutes. With USB 3.0? 70 seconds. Quite an improvement.

Gadget Venue —
... here is the transfer speeds that are now needed to cope with the amounts of data we transfer around. When USB was first launched it was fantastic for connecting devices up to your computer. Now we have moved past photos that are 1MB in size and video that’s in HD, it’s not time for something that can cope with that. With speeds up to 4.8Gbps being possible it allows for fast transfers to be done between devices.
For the full list of why’s etc… check out EverythingUSB.
