--snip-- Heavy digital content developers frustrated with slow USB2 data transfer rates of 480 Megabits per second or costly, specialised 'high transfers' computer configurations have a reason to smile. As technology innovation forges ahead, new kinds of devices, media formats, and large inexpensive storage are converging. More capacity is needed to cope with interactive experience of users’ expectations. 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. Expected in months is “Superspeed USB3.0” that combines physical copper contacts with fibre optic signal to deliver up to 4.8 Gbit/sec data transfer rate. It means copying up to thirty-20 MB raw files in one second - ten times current USB2 or six times faster than FireWire 800 cable. ... <http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/Featured/Prepare-for-the-all-new-SuperSpeed-USB3.0-2104.html>
