Any news if the Raspbery Pi 2 will have USB 3.0 ports? That seems to be a good selling point for the Odroid XU3 currently...

USB 3.0 ports would mean better performance as NAS or multimedia recording solution, as well as alleviating some of the current troubles with usb performance.

Are they necessary? My Radxa (quadcore 1.7 GHz ARMv7) cannot exceed 6 MB/s read from HDD no matter how hard it tries with NTFS formatted disc (for comparison, Raspberry Pi A was doing about 600 kB/s max in a same configuration).

Both are far under USB 2.0 speed.

No chance.
