There is no question that we will be in need of more transfer speed as more and more HD content becomes available. Even the new flash memory standard called UFS (to be released in 2009) will have faster access speeds. To satisfy our need for speed, “SuperSpeed” USB Promotions Group was announced at the Intel Developer Forum. The group will finalize USB 3.0 spec by middle of 2008 and new devices based on the spec will be released in 2009. The two main goals of SuperSpeed USB are to increase transfer speed by 10X and dramatically lower power consumption. That means the transfer speed will increase from 480Mbits/s in USB 2.0 to 4.8Gbits/s in USB 3.0. The SuperSpeed devices will use the same connectors and the same programming and device models as existing devices. USB 3.0 will be backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
