Why isn't the USB 2.0 drop already. I mean, common, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with 2.0 so what's the point?!?!?

No way, you mean all those Bitfenix customers have been waiting all this time some two years just for the 3.0 upgrade? :confused:

haha this is just like how the cm-692 advanced superseded by the successor cm-692 advanced USB3.0. Of course there are many other cases that were like this too.
