Usb 3 As far as I'm aware of, the only devices that can take advantage of the new USB standard are storage devices, of which I have none that are compatible at the moment. However, since I do now have USB 3, it seems reasonable to look to the future in buying anything that relates to this. For example, I was looking at a new USB hub, which I noticed was USB 2. I know that it would work in a USB 3 PC connection, but if it were between a USB 3 PC and a USB 3 device, it seems that it would create a bottleneck.
In any case, my question is more general than that...what type of devices might be effected by this, other than what I mentioned, and are any of them available yet?
EDIT: Thought that I would mention that since I had no other use for the USB 3 ports at the moment, I decided to plug my Logitech Trackman Wheel cordless mouse receiver in one of them, and it seems to have given it a slightly better accuracy.

There are number of multimedia devices that have USB 3.0 interface, such as cameras, camcorders, surveillance cameras, high performance speakers, etc. One could argue that most of them are actually storage devices from some perspective.
PS: By accident I've plugged my mouse in the USB 3 port and it took me awhile before I've realized that doing so was the source of the system instability issues. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built at Home OS Windows 7 64-bit CPU Intel i5-760 2.8GHz Motherboard Asus p7P55D-E Pro Memory 8GBs Corsair Dominator XMP1600 Graphics Card Radeon HD 5850 Sound Card VIA HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Viewsonic HDMI 1080p 24" Screen Resolution 1920x1080 PSU Antec 750W Case Antec P180 Cooling Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink, 5 x 120mm case fans Hard Drives 1 x Crucial C300 128GBs SATA 3.0,

There are a lot of devices that have USB 3.0 connectivity, especially storage devices. However there are some USB 2.0 that will perform faster plugged into a USB 3,0 slot. I have a USB 2.0 Mushkin 16GB thumb drive. It is twice as fast if plugged into USB3. Some devices aren't so. On my board, to use USB2 devices in USB3 ports, enable legacy devices has to be turned on in bios. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew - Always under construction OS Windows 7 X64 Professional/Windows 8 CPU intel i7-2600K Motherboard Asus P8Z68 V-Pro/GEN 3 Memory 8GB G.Skill Sniper DDR3-2133 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA 670 2GB Sound Card Asus Xonar Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD VW246H Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500/Logitech Wireless PSU CORSAIR HX850W Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Corsair H100 w/ 4 noctua fans in push/pull.

That was I my Asus P7P55D-E Pro based system and I don't recall the details. I think it was related to the Marvell 91xx and the NEC sharing the same PCIe lane. Connecting the mouse and the SSD drive into this lane wasn't the smartest idea. Yours is an AMD based system and should be just fine...

Mice compatible w/ windows 7 ssUSB 3.0 ports? I have a Dell XPS 17 3D, and it only has 1 standard USB 2.0 port. I like using a mouse better than I do the touch pad. However, the mice I have will not work in the new USB 3.0 compatible ports. I'm looking to purchase a new wireless mouse and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for one compatible with these new ssUSB ports. Thank you all for any suggestions and your time! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell / XPS 17 3D OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit |
