    I hereby ratify and sanctify those comments to the effect that this does indeed most suck.

    I hereby sneer at and disregard those comments to the effect that "oh wait oh wait you could use firewire". Fastest External Disks = eSATA. If fastest is not necessary, USB 3.0 will be plenty good enough. Sorry, I agree it was nice while it lasted, folks, but firewire is dead. Long live USB. #intelusb30

    @Kaiser-Machead: Someone's in postmortem denial. It's okay, I'll hold your hand and brush your hair while you sleep in your iPhone themed bed sheets...adjacent from the Steve Jobs poster with the halo and wings....and the Macbook that didn't even come with a damn firewire port.

    Hush now, hush.. #intelusb30

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh, sure, I know all about firewire, synchronous peer-to-peer vs. blah blah, but the main use everyone is mentioning is external disk, which is now a commodity across interfaces. So the commodity interface wins. I'm not gloating, just noting. #intelusb30

    This upsets me. I edit a lot of HD video on a Macbook Pro and due to the nature of the content itself, I have to use external harddrives to store it all. My computer itself handles the footage just fine... The bottleneck is the USB harddrives I use! And don't tell me to get firewire... That format is dead.

    I'm planning on upgrading to the next Mac that comes out with USB 3.0 ports... But I don't wan't to wait until 2011!!! #intelusb30

    @Mike Goldin: You don't want to hear FireWire - but that is a far simpler solution than waiting around for USB3 or LightPeak. USB polls the CPU to act as traffic cop on the bus - you will get drop outs and stalls. The format may well be dead, but it's supported on your laptop and multi interface drives are available for not much more than single interface drives. #intelusb30

    @sergiors: This exactly. Rather than being a big whiny baby about how the format is "dead" (which it isn't, it's laughable to say that ESPECIALLY when you work with HD video) you could just spring the extra $5 for a multi-interface drive. #intelusb30

    @Mike Goldin: I don't know what kind of goofy charlatans are telling you that firewire is dead, but it isn't. The port is there on your MBP, the peripheral storage options still exist. The likelihood of it disappearing anytime soon is nil, so long as there's no other high speed option available on Mac (yet).

    @alexander_wilde: Too bad the 15's had to sacrifice the 3/4 Express slot for the SD. #intelusb30

    @STiger:

    We definitely need to get working on eSATA keyboards. The latency of USB keyboards is killing me.

    Better yet, PCI-express keyboards, my keystrokes need to be logged at 10 GB/sec. #intelusb30
