I agree...

I was simply showing that there are manufacturers already marketing USB3 devices...

I have a Samsung USB3 disk.... On usb2....... Hmmm. Since it's backup I haven't bothered. My mobo has e-sata. So I am waiting for a USB3 to e-sata connector....

Funny, this is a very old post but most of it reads like it was just put here.. Guess USB 3 is still waiting in the wings. The ports are now showing on most new computers at least.

Intel's Ivy Bridge chipset and Windows 8 coming out next year will both have native support for USB 3.0.
So we may see a few USB 3.0 devices at this years NAMM.

btw: what for? are you going to record 128 tracks at 24/96 simultaneously ?

the bandwidth of firewire or usb2 is pretty enough to transfer most real-day use audio streams...just take a look at how rme have pushed the performance of their ff400 uc...
what i want to say is that the data interface of an audiointerface is the lesss critical part nowadays - so usb3 will just be one of those "just buy me cos i am new" things :-)

certainly its GREAT for backup/storage but not practically relevant for audio

LOL! no harm having a V8 in a smart car, but people do like to capture 16 to 32 tracks @ 24/96 simultaneously .

Wow, this is an old thread!
And still no USB 3.0 audio interfaces? I would have thought that by now there would be at least one or two in the high-end market for people with too much money that want the best...
I hate those people.
