Register Hardware has just published Inside USB 3.0 article on new coming USB 3.0 technology. USB 3.0 is sometimes called SuperSpeed USB because of its 5Gb/s peak data-transfer rate. NEC announced first host controller chip for USB 3.0 last week.
Achieving that 5Gb/s data rate has required some hardware changes because simply can’t do SuperSpeed over USB 2.0 cabling. Long time it was thought that fiber optics were needed to get 5Gb/s data rate but now it seems that copper is the way to go because it is cheaper.
The new USB cables will be thicker than those we’re used to and they have more shielded twisted pairs in them to carry the data. The connectors need to change to handle the new wires. The basic USB 3.0 ‘Standard A’ connector looks like today’s big USB plugs but is slightly longer to to accommodate five extra contact pins. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with 2.0, connecting your current thin-wired mouse to a USB 3.0 port isn’t going to be a problem.
USB 3.0 is not simply a higher-clocked USB 2.0. The new USB 3.0 bus uses different protocol than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 links can be used to read and write data simultaneously – ‘dual simplex’ signalling, compared to USB 2.0’s ‘half duplex’ operation. USB 3.0 evices explicitly route packets from the source to the targets (USB 2.0 simply broadcasts all packets to all connected devices). USB 3.0 retains USB 2.0’s data transfer types and pipe model.
SuperSpeed USB has a dual-bus architecture to allow hosts and hubs to run USB 3.0 right alongside USB 2.0, while plug-in peripherals are limited to use only USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 signaling.
If things go smoothly maybe we could see first USB 3.0-capable PCs by the end of the year and peripherals that can use the 5Gb/s sometimes next year. Then it probably takes some time (maybe years) before everything on USB 3.0 runs smoothly…
Thanks, good article.
Good article, Thanks. my name Philip.
Good article, Thanks. Thanks.
Good, interesting article, but where took information?
Interesting. But what sign on novelties of the news?
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.
Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
Wow, this blog is definately getting bookmarked. Great Info all over the place.
This post has really caused me to think about several new issues in our world. Thanks for causing others to think.
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
To get the menu bar to look like it is took some serious design work. The site as it is is result of years of development, it has involved in-house development, and some professionals from other companies and some freelancers. Yes a professional graphics designer has been used in the design process to convert the design ideas to something that looks good.
Nice read. I also saw a video in youtube about a review on new Apple iPad. Here is the link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAb_yg2XF-k
Fine blog. I got a lot of good data. I’ve been watching this technology for awhile. It’s intriguing how it keeps varying, yet some of the core factors remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the domain?
Very good info.
Some technical data?
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the writing on your website. But I am employing Firefox on a machine running version 9.10 of Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite satisfactory. Not a strong deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and research for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the superb work!
Hands down one of the better posts I’ve come across.
Great article. There’s a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Redhat with the current beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of flaky for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so well.
The site worked well for me on Ubuntu versions I have tested.
Does anyone else have same kind of problems?
What kind of config do you use in your system?
Your website looks really good. Being a blog writer myself, I really appreciate the time you took in writing this article. http://downloadpublicrecords.blogspot.com/
There are certainly a lot more details to take into consideration, but thanks for sharing.
I like how you write.Are you interesting in a part time writer job?
Actually I already have a part time writer job. I write to Prosessori magazine (magazine has web site at http://www.prosessori.fi/ )
would it be possible to translate your website into spanish because i have difficulties of speaking to english, and as there are not many pictures on your website i would like to read more of what you are writting .

Really marvelous post. Theoretically I could write something like this too, but taking the time and effort to make a good article is a lot of effort…but what can I say….I’m a procrastinater. Good read though.
