I am not sure how long it will take USB3 to be main stream. But taking into
account that USB2 still have problems when you try to use it at max speed in
many areas, I doubt USB3 will be robust enough to get max out of it anytime
soon.
There are many mass storage devices that will hang Windows if you put them
at sustained max speed. What is the industry need for a faster USB if you
can't really use USB2 at max speed reliably today?
