why do you need a usb3.0 on these things? The port inside the machine is SATA150 which is 1/3 of USB2 bandwidth

C1ro so a USB 2.0 would be equally as fast as the internal one supplied with the M14x ? I was just worried about the USB 2 because i choose the most expensive processor 2820 so that i can do my dvd rips faster and i didnt want it to be bottle necked by the usb 2.0
Are you 100% sure USB 2.0 will not bottle neck the performance ? -

480 megabits per second will that bottleneck the speed of my dvd ripping ?
its the whole reason i got the 2820QM proc for speedy dvd rip -
For what its worth, I just bought a Blu ray burner and placed it in a external optical drive enclosure that has both USB2.0 and eSATA. I ripped two bluray's in about 2 hours on my m14x via USB. I have the 2720QM and didn't notice any issues. I was using the web and had a couple programs running at the same time.
