The testing proved to be a huge win for Thunderbolt, which showed a massive improvement over FireWire 800 and just decimated USB 2.0."</em></p><p><img height="261" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1309887439.usr105634.jpg" style="margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 40px;" width="520" /></p><p>That is a crazy jump in improvement over FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 doesn't even come close.
