Will Apple ever support eSATA?
sigh. I doubt it. I think we'll see all the ports vanish, when Light Peak comes out. Then we'll be stuck buying expensive adapters. Regretfully, at the rate Apple has been adopting interfaces, the PC world will have LP for a few years, then maybe we'll get it.
What's the deal on USB 3.0? will that be as fast as eSATA and FW?
Raw USB 3 is 4 Gbps, with a 5 Gbps burst "superspeed" mode. It was standardized in 2008. Chip sets have been available for a while now - the first peripherals hit the market *six months ago*.
I'm not a big fan of USB but at this point, since FW has stalled... sigh.
What may the SD port do other than a camera card, it seems a waste of port space when a two dollar USB SD adaptor will do it.
