SuperSpeed USB will deliver data at a much faster transfer rate, up to 5 Gbps, as well as improved power efficiency. USB 3.0 utilizes a bi-directional data interface rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement, where data can only flow in one direction at a time, giving a ten-fold increase in theoretical bandwidth.

• Faster speed with transfer rates up to 5 Gbps.
• Backwards-compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
• For use with computers and peripherals.
