The VIA VL700 USB 3.0-SATA controller that was announced a month or so ago has been certified by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). The chip, which can be included on motherboards, on add-on cards, or in notebooks/netbooks, allows you to connect a SATA HDD, SSD or optical drive to your computer using the new super fast USB 3.0 speeds. This certification basically gives a stamp of approval to say that this chip is as fast as VIA claims. Cool!
"Components that achieve certification qualify to use the SuperSpeed USB logo, designed to provide consumers with a way to evaluate a product’s quality. Additionally, certified products are added to an Integrators List of compliant SuperSpeed USB devices, which is available to manufacturers at www.usb.org/developers/compliance. The Integrators List enables manufacturers to quickly check for USB 3.0 components that have met the USB-IF Certification and Compliance Program criteria. " - more.
