Asus Netbooks will get USB 3.0 Support
Jump to Comments
The new USB 3.0 standard offers data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than the 480Mb/s that is possible from the current USB 2.0. Normally, new tech like this is reserved for the high end machines, costing thousands of dollars before it trickles down, but DigiTimes reports that Asus will be adding USB 3.0 support to the Eee PC netbook and Eee Box nettop lines soon.
USB 3.0 offers data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, which makes it ideal storing your data on large external drives which could be a boon for those of you that use a nettop as a home theatre PC, or if you just tend to backup your netbook regularly at home.
