USB3.0 is said to have the highest transfer rate ever on a device, and guess which OS is the first one to be graced by this new awesome piece of technology? Yep, that’s right, Linux.

About a month ago, NEC Japan had announce that they would be releasing their USB3.0 hardware into the market this month, but even before the whole hardware is actually out yet, someone actually made a driver for USB3.0! The creator, Sarah Sharp, had commented that she is currently working towards integration with some of the Linux’s wide variety of OS. This means that Linux users can actually get USB3.0 first before anyone else could!

However, it’s not entirely surprising that Linux would be the first OS to get the drivers. Being open-sourced has their own advantages at times. Communities can update the drivers as and when they like, and I’m sure the developers won’t have as much time as a whole community has. Even if the developers are professionals, they only have this amount of time to work on anything, while the Linux community can easily grab a handful of people to work on a driver.
