USB 3.0 is the next evolution over the now common USB 2.0 that we’ve all been using for years. While the USB 3.0 standard has been out for a while, it’s only recently that a variety of USB 3.0 devices has been available for purchase.<\/p>\n

The biggest difference between USB 3.0 and 2.0 is the speed. The theoretical maximum is 4.8 Gb\/second. While communication overhead and other issues mean that real-world performance will be much less, even at half that speed it is still close to ten times the speed of the real-world performance of USB 2.0. USB 3.0’s main benefits are:<\/p>\n

Higher transfer rates (up to 4.8 Gb\/second).<\/li>\n
Increased maximum bus power and increased device current draw to better accommodate external devices with higher power demands.<\/li>\n
New power management features, to provide high power when needed but reduced power when possible.<\/li>\n
Full-duplex data transfers and support for new transfer types.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While the higher speed won’t make any difference for low-bandwidth peripherals such as mice and keyboards, it is a boon for high-volume data transfers with external hard drives, flash drives and high-definition video cameras. Those of us with large video or digital music collections have found backups to external drives to be slow, so USB 3.0 will greatly help this task.<\/p>\n
Many new USB 3.0 external hard drives are now hitting the market, and several new laptops with USB 3.0 controllers will soon be available.<\/p>\n
If you’re shopping for a new computer, it’s worth looking for USB 3.0 capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
