Here’s something you’ll find interesting.<\/p>\n
While Mac’s don’t support USB 3 yet, USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2, which your Mac has.<\/p>\n
So?<\/p>\n
Well, USB 3 used in under USB 2 conditions (which I’ll call USB 3\/2 to save typing) is much faster than USB 2.<\/p>\n
For example, the ADATA S102\/16GB USB 3 memory stick is about 50% faster than even the fastest USB 2 stick I’ve found.<\/p>\n
And for more of a surprise, how about this: \u00a0the $19 Transcend USB 3 card reader (TS-RDF8K) is nearly twice as fast as my fastest USB 2 card reader (500MB copied in 11 sec vs 20 sec.)<\/p>\n
So, if you’re into moving data from your camera faster, get a USB3 card reader even if your computer doesn’t support USB 3 yet.<\/p>\n
As usual, however, YMMV.<\/p>\n
