USB 3.0 TECHNOLOGY

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is one of the best inventions that have revolutionized the world of technology. The presence of this interface that supports the creation of a portable external storage such as USB flash drives. USB flash disk to use NAND Flash as the storage medium. NAND Flash Memory selection both caused by a relatively large storage capacity (8 MB) and good speed. Another advantage is also donated their physical size. Little-sized flash memory that enables the size of a USB flash disk into concise.

For the first time, the bandwidth is only USB 1.5 and 12 Mbps Bandwidth is sufficient to Flash Disk, which still had 8 MB. However, increasing the storage capacity of each year so that the USB 1.0 or 1.1 is no longer enough for fast data transfer. On the basis of advanced USB, USB 2.0, which has a bandwidth of 480 Mbps Currently, almost all the equipment already in motion to implement a USB 2.0 interface. At 17 November 2008, the USB Implementers Forum has announced the successor to USB 2.0, USB 3.0.

However, new in January 2010 and USB 3.0 officially released. USB 3.0 is available with a bandwidth of 5 Gbps, so you do not have long to wait when transferring large amounts of data. This is because the bandwidth offered by much larger than its predecessor. USB 3.0 offers not only improved speed but also the improvement and optimization of power management. USB 3.0 port that is used as a USB 2.0 port so you can still use the device with a USB 3,0 interface on the PC or laptop that only has USB 2.0-ports, but this configuration has the disadvantage on speed, because it will works only in USB 2.0 speed only.
