Re: rev B?

170mps is awesome and all, but i dont see the real world application of speeds that fast (unless your trying to transfer a data base on the go). But still, these concepts arent made to solve the problems of today.

If the 10% rule is still in effect, thats about 17 megabytes being downloaded per second, an mp3 would transfer in less than a 1/4 second, a full cd in four seconds, a dvd in under 40 seconds, it wouldnt take long transfering the contents of one hardrive to the next, maybe just over night

i think data has been compressed to the point that any speed exceeding this is just not practical
