[ale] OT Gotta love USB 3

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

I just got my first chance to try a USB 3 port on the motherboard that I 
have.  I finally got my hands on a USB 3 enclosure and stuck the new WD 
2 TB Black drive mentioned in another thread in it.

I'm getting transfer rates of around 100 MB / sec to the drive, which is 
limited by the spinning platters.  I love it.  That's 2-3 times what I 
was ever able to get out of USB 2.

The interface should be capable of close to 500 MB / sec if I had 
anything that could absorb data that fast.

If I have to do any backups to external media, they're going on THAT 
motherboard connection.  That should be less painful than before.

Sincerely,

Ron
