My last work PC a DELL Optiplex had "cutting edge" USB 3 ports on the back thru an expansion slot.

But, half the time the drivers wouldn't load on boot, or fail sometime after, so I'm pretty sure the "U" in USB meant "useless".

 

 

Wish we could just skip all the steps and get to a 10 TB/sec transfer rate.

This is a good thought just like mine, but those companies still need to earn the money, so skip is a dream and the step by step is the reality.

Sometimes if the thing from the simple to complex then that's just like skip, like as the NOKIA's simple cellphone and the APPLE's smartphone.

 

In addition, size reduction is approaching a physical limit unless a way to reduce the size of molecules is discovered. Photo-printing in IC devices had to move to ultraviolet light because the wavelengths used were excessively long. So there is a limit to shrinking electronics. The other limits are electrical breakdown and heat. That is why some logic has gone to 3.3 volts and then 1.8 volts. Of course, then noise becomes a much bigger problem as well.
