WebsiteThe current USB 2.0 version has a top data-transfer rate of 480 megabits per second, so a tenfold increase would be 4.8 gigabits per second. Now you're talking! :) Looking forward to usb 3.0Any idea when usb 4.0 will be released? :sneaky: Perhaps after firewire 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If internet would be as fast as this one day, and i believe it will, that would be just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
