So what’s the difference between USB Versions?
Well firstly let me start off with some background Information:
USB – Universal Serial Bus
USB 1.1 – 1.5 Mbit/s
USB 2.0 – 35 MB/s
USB 3.0 – 4 Gbit/s
USB was designed to standardize the connection of computer peripherals (including keyboards, pointing devices, digital cameras, printers, portable media players, disk drives and network adapters) to personal computers, both to communicate and to supply electric power.
Lets get Technical:
USB 2: 4 Connectors
USB 3: 5 Connectors
An extra connector has allowed a USB 3 to be 10 times faster!
USB 3.0, the latest generation of the Universal Series Bus, operates on the same principles as USB 2.0 technology but with some improvements. Also referred to as Super Speed, USB 3.0 offers faster data transfer rates and a theoretical 4.8 Gbps, or speeds that are ten times faster than USB.
Lets not Forget that USB is backward Compatible!
Different Types of USB Connectors:
^ This is referred to as a Type “A”
^ This is referred to as a Type “B”
I hope you learnt something reading this, as i sure did making it!
