So is the difference only in the interface?

Other Info
Built my first computer (8Mhz 8088cpu, 640K RAM, 20MB HDD, 2 360K floppy drives) in 1985 and have been building them for myself, relatives and friends ever since.
USB3 is an interface specification. It says nothing about the device using it.

Many people buy a USB3 device drive based on the high advertised transfer rate of USB3. Then they are disappointed when they do not get this performance. In most cases performance is determined by the drive being used, not the interface to it. At the present time only an SSD can reach these speeds. No conventional drive even comes close.
