Default What Happened to USB 3.0
USB 3.0 has been around now for a couple of years and yet I'm still having a hard time finding a desktop with this interface built in. I know that I can buy a suitable motherboard and build my own but why are manufacturers like Dell and Gateway not offering units with USB 3.0? I bought a USB 3.0 external hard drive a year ago and am still using it in a USB 2.0 port.

Confused

Interesting. Literally EVERY notebook that's come out in the last 2 months has had SuperSpeed USB included.

That's if you're buying them from etailers or big box stores, Walmart, which unfortunately quite a few people buy their computers from typically has 6months to 1 year old systems that they sell for just under what the other big box stores are selling for that lure people in.

Every single SB laptop I've seen came with USB 3.0.
