Light Peak in 2011
Sep 16, 2010
I think it will be one of the most useful technological items to make its debut next year. An excerpt:
At the far left on the TV was the total bitrate of the storage system, which showed a solid 768.8 megabytes/s of throughput. That's 6.15 gigabits per second of throughput.
Most people are currently stuck with USB 2 which offers a throughput of roughly 30 megabytes per second. That was awesome ten years ago but now it's simply very slow. Light Peak can't come soon enough.
Unfortunately, one will have to upgrade the motherboard to make use of Light Peak. So, it'll be many years before this becomes mainstream.
