USB 3.0 is specified to transfer at five gigabits per second, or 10 times faster than USB 2.0*. In our tests we observed speeds of up to 180 megabits per second, or three times faster than USB 2.0, which is a great improvement for activities like large file transfers. USB 3.0 products are backwardcompatible with USB 2.0 devices and will interoperate with them as well.
With SuperSpeed USB 3.0 products you can download HD movies and other multimedia, transfer high-bandwidth media files back and forth and charge and sync devices like a digital camera or smartphone much faster than before.
