USB 3.0 connectors shown at CES

William Henning - Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 | 11:38AM (PT)

Connectors for the upcoming USB 3.0 standard were shown at CES

The Register has posted some photo's of the USB 3.0 connectors that were shown at CES in Las Vegas.

The new connectors are backward compatible with the current USB 2.0 / 1.1 connectors, but they add an extra set of signals for the new 4.7Gbps signaling - the new standard is almost ten times as fast as the old one.

The full specification is supposed to be completed by the end of June.

And 2.0 was about 10x faster than USB 1.1 yes? So USB 3.0 = 100x faster than USB 1.1...

That is nice

I hope maybe my next computer will have this, it would be nice, I think....

This would make running fancy OS sytems off external USB 3.0 HDDs more realistic, and speedy...
