have a couple USB3 external discs (w/ µ connector ) as well as a eSATAp disc
since i discovered that in a squeeze i can use the USB2 cables i usually carry around for the NOKIAs to connect the USB discs i'm more then happy with "the brave new world" of USB
even though the performances of USB devices are always heavily dependant on driver & knows what aspects (one of my discs barely makes USB2 speeds in openSUSE but works superfast on other OSes (CentOS or windooooz))
go figure
