I'm more concerned for dual channel memory support. That small change would further widen the massive performance gap between the fusion and atom platforms.

There's a reason why usb 2.0 has been around for forever: It's enough.
If I remember correctly, USB 2.0 wasn't adopted very quickly either over the 1.1 standard. Even 1.1 stuck around for many years afterwards.

That 30 meg a sec is prolly just your hard drive/controller or something else cause 2.0 does twice that.
That's the theoretical peak of the interface. Your actual speeds will be far lower. Even with enhanced drivers designed for specific products, USB 2.0 can't put out more than 40MB/s.
Plug any mechanical external drive into a USB 2.0 port and benchmark it, you'll see. Most mechanical drives easily exceed 100MB/s these days, so the extra overhead of USB 3.0 is very much welcomed.
