USB 3.0 Spec Finished: It's SuperSpeed USB

[cliffro]

My thoughts on cpu use is this:

IF using an add-in card with the controller on the card wouldn't that reduce the CPU usage?

Personally I have a PCI slot coming open again thanks to ditching my crappy Wireless NIC and running CAT5E from the router in the next couple of days, I would more than likely just purchase a card instead of waiting for and purchasing a motherboard that supports it. And future HDD purchases would be added via USB3 seeing as i am using all 4 SATA ports already.

I'm pretty sure the dedicated cards still uses the host CPU, %90 sure.

Someone confused Mb/s with MB/s

 

[yjagota]

[citation][nom]ProDigit80[/nom]actually that would be incorrect.5Gb = 5million bits = 5/8 million bytes = 595MB/s.[/citation]
1Gb is not equal to 1000Mb. It is equal to 1024Mb. Or any unit for that matter here. 1Mb == 1024Kb and not 1000Kb. Update your facts please.
