[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1395815"] My guess would be no. Even though the Ivy Bridge chipset has built-in support for USB 3. Apple has two sound reasons for this: 1. USB 3 is nowhere near the level of mainstream acceptance than USB 2 has. There's no consumer "momentum" for USB 3, in other words. 2. Thunderbolt does USB 3 and anything else you want it to do. Apple is constantly looking for a way to eliminate ports not add them, so I am disinclined to think they will add USB 3 Having said that, anything's possible. [/QUOTE]
