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 users have come to 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 devices.

1.SuperSpeed USB (USB3.0) has a 5 Gbps signaling rate offering 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB.

2.SuperSpeed USB (USB3.0) is a Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait-time.

3.SuperSpeed USB (USB3.0) will provide Optimized Power Efficiency.No device polling and lower active and idle power requirements.

4.SuperSpeed USB (USB3.0) is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Devices interoperate with USB 2.0 platforms.

Hosts support USB 2.0 legacy devices.
