(sigh) Yes, it is real.
Four USB 3 enclosures tested and compared to USB 2.

Unfortunately, they ran up against the SATA 2.0 3 Gbps bottleneck. The next versions in a few months should reach 300 MB/s with SATA 3.0 6 Gbps bridge boards, or when the drives have full speed native USB 3 connectors. Okay, anybody still want to stick with FW800 at 80 MB/s?
