What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.
Provides an expandable, fast, bi-directional, low cost, Plug
and Play serial hardware interface.
Allows users to connect a wide variety of peripherals to a
computer and have them automatically configured and ready to use.
Implemented to provide a replacement for legacy ports to
make the addition of peripheral devices quick and easy for the end user.
History of USB
There have been three versions released prior
to 3.0
USB 1.0 in January 1996 data rates of 1.5 Mbps up to 12
Mbps.
USB 1.1 in September 1998 first widely used version of
USB.
USB 2.0 in April 2000 - Major feature revision was the
addition of a high speed transfer rate of 480 Mbps.
USB 3.0 Now
It was Developed on Nov 17,2008 It is called as SUPER SPEED Technology because of the
significant speed improvements over existing USB specifications Transfer Mode of Up to 4.8 Gbps Upgrade from USB 2.0 New communication protocols for devices New transfer modes New power management features Longer maximum cable lengths
Key Features
Single connector type Replaces all different legacy connectors with one welldefined standardized USB connector for all USB peripheral devices.
Hot swappable Devices can be safely plugged and unplugged as needed while the computer is running (no need to reboot). Plug and Play OS software automatically identifies, configures, and loads the appropriate driver when connection is made.
Key Features
High performance USB offers data transfer speeds at up to 4.8 Gbps Expandability Up to 127 different peripheral devices may theoretically be connected to a single bus at one time
Bus-supplied power USB distributes the power to all connected devices, eliminating the need for an external power source for low power devices (flash drives, memory cards, Bluetooth)
Connector properties
Availability Consumer Products are expected to become available in 2010 Usability Most connectors cannot be plugged in upside down Durability The standard connectors were designed to be robust Compatibility Two-way communication is also possible. In USB 3.0, fullduplex communications are done when using SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) transfer

USB 3.0 vs. Other Standards
FireWire 1394 has a maximum data transfer
rate of 800 Mbps
eSATA bus a a maximum data transfer rate
of 3.2 Gbps
Example: Asus demonstrated transfer of a 25 GB HD movie in 70 seconds using a USB 3.0 bus versus the USB 2.0 transfer time of about 4 hours

Maximum Useful Distance
USB 1.1 maximum cable length is 3 metres (9.8 ft)
USB 2.0 maximum cable length is 5 metres (16 ft) USB 3.0 cable assembly may be of any length
Architecture
USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0 - Hardware
USB 2.0 Cable is thinner
USB 3.0
Cable resembles an Ethernet cord by thickness. Has 8 primary conductors Three twisted signal pairs for data paths and one power Pair Full duplex data transfer mode
Has 4 primary conductors
Half duplex data transfer
APPLICATIONS
USB implements connections to storage devices using a
set of standards called the USB mass storage device class. USB 3.0 can also support portable hard disk drives. The
earlier versions of USBs were not supporting the 3.5 inch
hard disk drives. These external drives usually contain a translating device that interfaces a drive of conventional technology (IDE, PATA, SATA, ATAPI, or even SCSI) to a USB port.
Why the upgrade?
Mainly the need for faster transfer rates in devices such
as hard drives, flash card readers, and DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD optical drives.
User applications demanding a higher performance
connection between the PC and peripherals.
Need for greater energy efficiency in todays greener
world.
Conclusion
The Universal serial bus 3.0 is supporting a speed of about 5 Gb/sec i.e. ten times faster than the 2.0 version.
So hopefully by the help of this SuperSpeed data transfer rate the USB 3.0 will be replacing many of the connecters in the future.
