If you didn't know it, there's a brewing interface war between the effortlessly backwards compatible USB 3.0 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/usb3.0) and the decidedly fresh break offered by Light Peak (http://www.engadget.com/tag/lightpeak). Most people are fans of new stuff that works with their old stuff, but so too do people like stuff that's really fast, and USB 3.0's 5Gbps just can't match Light Peak's 10Gbps. Or can it? NEC says it can, indicating that its USB 3.0 chipset manages a whopping 16Gbps (2GB per second) over a single cable, finding a way to overcome that standard's signal interference problems to more than triple the previously held ceiling. It remains to be seen whether NEC's technique will be integrated into the still young 3.0 spec, but that would certainly be the logical thing to do.
