Super Speed USB 3.0

As technology innovation marches forward; new kinds of devices, media formats, and large inexpensive storage are converging. They require significantly more bus bandwidth to maintain the interactive experience that users expect. In addition, user applications demand a higher performance connection between the PC and these increasingly sophisticated peripherals. 


USB 3.0 addresses this need by adding an even higher transfer rate to match these new usage and demands.


USB continues to be the answer to connectivity for PC, Consumer Electronics, and Mobile architectures. It is a fast, bidirectional, low-cost, dynamically attachable interface, that is consistent with the requirements of the PC platforms of today and tomorrow.


SuperSpeed USB brings significant performance enhancements to the ubiquitous USB standard, while remaining compatible with the billions of USB enabled devices currently deployed in the market. SuperSpeed USB will deliver 10x the data transfer rate of Hi-Speed USB, as well as improved power efficiency.

Advantages of USB 3.0:

SuperSpeed USB has a 5 Gbps signaling rate offering 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB.

SuperSpeed USB is a Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait-time.

SuperSpeed USB will provide Optimized PowerEfficiency. No device polling and lower active and idle power requirements.

SuperSpeed USB is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Devices interoperate with USB 2.0 platforms. Hosts support USB 2.0 legacy devices.
