Here’s why USB 3 is taking adaptable technology to a whole new level.

Why All the Hype About USB 3?

There might be a lot of hype about USB 3.0 these days, but the USB 3 standard was actually released in 2008.

So, the first question to tackle here is: if USB 3 has been around for over ten years, why is it just getting big now?

Well, it’s complicated, but basically, USB 3.0 offers it’s users such great functionality that technology needed to take a little time to adapt. This is why only newer computer and laptop models tend to be equipped with standard USB 3 ports and hubs. This is great news for those who have recently gotten hooked up with a newer model, but likewise means that a lot of people are still missing out.

This is because USB 3 offers really major improvements over its popular predecessor, USB 2. This also means that this newer, improved super-speed USB standard is changing the game in terms of what people can do with their devices. Those who aren’t on board with USB 3.0 will probably want to get on board quickly.

Speaking of speed, in terms of one of the most notable perks, USB 3 is a lot faster. And when we say a lot, we really mean it. A USB 3.0 port runs at a whopping 5Gbps, making it ten times faster than the USB 2.0 that most of us already know and love.

Even better, USB 3.0 hubs allow their users to enjoy much-improved performance and functionality. Not only are they built to be conveniently backward compatible with other USB 2.0 devices, but they also can pull off nifty tricks like simultaneous downloads and uploads at the same time.

This means that they are ideal for running sophisticated devices that are designed to function at higher bandwidth levels like high-definition cameras or cool tech gadgets that are increasingly becoming more widely accessible. However, no matter the bandwidth, they still offer more efficient power usage and charging technology while ensuring optimal functioning from all your devices, and these are qualities that anybody can appreciate!

Of course, this comes as welcome news in an age when people are looking for new ways to get smarter with their energy usage.
