When is USB 3.0 coming to NAS Market??

smokinu

New Around Here
So Im in the market for a NAS device and apparently there are alot of great ones out there now with more and more seemingly every other day. I have one question though... With USB 3.0 already being released and more and more new devices supporting it, why are these new NAS devices coming with USB 2.0? With the huge difference in transfer speeds I would think this would be a big factor when thinking about buying a NAS. Especially anything over a couple hundred bucks.

So Basically I find myself really wanting to get a NAS but thinking I should wait for USB 3.0 availability on them. What do the rest of you think about it?
 
I asked about this at CES and got a vague feeling that USB 3 won't be appearing on NASes anytime soon. At least not this year.
 
well thats a little dissapointing huh. Oh well. I suppose I have to figure out what model I want for the money. This is going to be hard with so many models out. Too bad you cant piece one together from different brands. The good ones cost way too much.
