1241608 2011-11-04 04:25:00 i watch a video usb 3 was only two times as fast tested usb three mboard with a ssd hd to avoid the hd bottleneck, not ten times as fast as the guy said quoting the theory speeds. typing on hand phone. Nomad (952)
1241609 2011-11-04 04:41:00 Hard drives arent fast enough for USB 3 anyway, they barely can max out USB2

They can't even max out their own SATA 3Gbit/s...

Haha yeah we need a massive increase in tech here, even our internet will be faster if they dont hurry up

1241611 2011-11-04 04:50:00 In terms of efficiency . I tested a single largish file . My 54Mbit/sec WIFI worked out to be around a 20Mbit . My 2000 era old laptop that is still tickling away, well at the time, the LAN port just died :p it was performing at maybe 80Mbit for a 100Mbit . For routers, many people I guess just use WIFI . For us we just don't copy that much stuff, it's just internet and stuff . But for backup, we just click start and leave it, sync or incremental doesn't take that long .

Well there are SSD HDs . . . :D But most won't buy them for the price . But then again there are SATA 3 HDs with a 6Gb/sec channel . Inefficiencies . . .

It's not like going from USB1 to 2 . . . . . .

Yes, rather sad, that is what I was hoping for, why? I know not.

1241613 2011-11-04 06:28:00 I don't know what the fuss is about. I've striven mightily and with the various ages of 'puter around here only USB 1 lives up to it's specs.
Even pushing with both feet, I can't get more than 1 plug in.

Not sure they allow visitors where RX hangs out.

1241617 2011-11-04 08:16:00 Well I just did some tests :D

I have with me a SATA 2 HD in the PC. I copied a single large file 1.8GB to a internal HD using a external dock.

Destination
Seagate SATA 2 - 29.74sec
Seagate SATA 1 - 31.41sec.

This was using eSATA on my PC. USB2 was 1m 03.58 and 1m 04.34 respectively.
:p So what SATA2 :lol:

USB 2 took quite some seconds at the end to finalised.
