… motherboard. So the chicken and egg race between USB 3.0 enabled devices and computers will come to an end with a USB 3.0 enabled motherboard. Asus plans to put 2 USB 3.0 ports on its new P6X58 Premium motherboard. And I say it’s about time. I don’t know about you but I’ve been hearing all the praises of USB 3.0 and how it’s going to be 10 times faster than 2.0 (which is pretty fast already) for what feels like years now.
So Asus broke the seal for the computer manufacturers. Who will be first to build a USB 3.0 enabled device? My guess is an external drive manufacturer like Western Digital or Seagate but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long though.
