I just want to say, that after trying it out for myself... it really does feel really different. I'm used to backing up 10 gigs of data at times... what I would ordinarily get up and do something for to wait it out now takes literally 10 seconds or so. Everyone I know who deals with big data (well, in orders of gigs -- not going beyond 5 TB or so :)) has similar sentiments about how fast USB 3.0 flash discs feel.
