@Xiphias - oh you cynic! In reality we should be looking at speeds not far off this as the first USB 3.0 external drives are testing fairly close to their performance claims. Of course whether your PC's HDD will bottleneck the whole thing down to 50MB/s is another question entirely...

Thumbs up for getting it out there, thumbs down for the sneaky name; RAIDDrive indeed!
As for Intel not adopting USB3, I bet that's a ploy and they'll release news that they'll be doing it Q1. Either that or everyone else will integrate it and they will have to follow suit. It's not as if we wouldn't buy into LightPeak when it came along anyways, huh?! I'm reckoning you could interface USB2/3 to LightPeak anyway considering it's designed for multi-IO.

am I right that when using this at an usb 2.0 slot, u should archieve significant higher speeds than using any other USB2.0 sticks because the new bottleneck shouldn't be the stick but the USB2.0 Bus?
What transfer rates could I expect with this setup?

@pewpew: No, you're not right. On a fast stick the limitation is the USB2 connection, so this one will hit the same 30-35MB/s speed (for large files) as a good USB2 stick.

No doubt those are more hopelessly unrealistic speeds but if it can transfer a collection of music files, documents or any other small files at 50MB/s I'll be impressed.
