Now I'm not completely up on throughput of all devices, but 4.8 Gbps means that this device can transfer 600 megabytes of information in 1 second - that's about an entire CD in a second - a computer cannot read a hard drive, let alone a CD that fast, so isn't this overkill?
The only way I can see reaching 4.8 Gbps is to go from one USB3 Flash Drive directly to another USB3 flash drive WITHOUT going through the motherboard ...
---EDIT---
And holy crap - that's faster throughput than a Gigabit network - pretty soon we won't be using ethernet...:)
---EDIT---
Please correct me if I am wrong ...
