USB 3.0 Will be as Popular as the Current USB 2.0


According to the survey, with the Taiwan-based chipset vendor master positive into the market by price war, and the Renesas chip prices would appear that most of next year's new models will be equipped with usb 3.0 front panel interface. At the same time this year, Intel also announced that it will include USB 3.0 reference design, the processor manufacturers to promote the circumstances, DRAMeXchange that, USB 3.0 Host end of next year maturity and is expected to significantly increase penetration.

U disk from the application point of view, USB 3.0 transfer speed USB 2.0 is about two to about three times, the mainstream capacity also increase from the current stage of the 4GB to 8GB or more, while the external hard drive transfer rate and more good value for money (both 500GB capacity next year off) is also favored by consumers. Therefore DRAMeXchange believes that consumers with high-capacity file transfer needs of high-definition video files in the USB 3.0 will effectively be driven environment, will also increase joint NAND Flash U disk usage for the demand, so the popularity of USB 3.0 rate U disk market will be next year a major focus of observation.

DRAMeXchange that mature in product prices and cost reduction under the incentive speed, USB 3.0 desktop and notebook computers in the penetration rate in 2011 is expected to reach 60%, respectively, and 50% or more, if the price cut and the peripheral chip prices Products with the degree to accelerate the rate of increase, the opportunity to further increase penetration.

The forward to 2012, in both Intel and AMD chips into built-in USB3.0, the popularity of will, as the existing USB2.0. In addition to PC-side applications while outside, DRAMeXchange also found with the consumer electronics and home appliances gradually into the concept of digital design, the consistency of the interface for the transmission interconnection with the device of increasing demand, so USB 3.0 will have the opportunity to import other non- PC class consumer electronic devices.

Operating System support USB 3.0


In November 2008, held, "SuperSpeed" Developers Conference, Microsoft announced Windows 7 to provide support for USB 3.0, but not the initial release, but later released patches in Service Pack1. Not only Windows 7, or Vista is also likely to support SuperSpeed ", of course, if Microsoft is willing to. At least look at Microsoft's many partners still hope to support usb 3.0 expresscard in Vista.

As Windows XP is still unknown, XP, after all, the product is already 7 years ago, so, support it or not I am afraid that is not so important.

Open-source systems, Linux supports a clear USB 3.0, provided that the expansion of the main controller interface (xHCI) specification was released. 0.95 non-public version, or a pending draft.

Apple connection, in accordance with the "practice" is still whether to support the MacOS X "SuperSpeed USB" to remain silent on the issue. However, once the USB 3.0 USB 2.0 as fulfilled as the "plug and play" the market a lot of "SuperSpeed" equipment will be springing up like normal.

As for the Firewire signal interference problem exists, it is not known, but any case, Apple needs to support "SuperSpeed", if everyone is optimistic about the words of the interface standard.

At first, the USB 3.0 support, no matter the operating system or device, certainly not in one step. Initially simple trial on small devices, then the existence of such kind of problems, and will not give full play to the advantage of USB 3.0. However, as time goes on, these will be gradually perfected.

USB 3.0 Solve Your Annoyance When Move large files


Do you spend too much time waiting for large files between the computers to crawl and external hard drive? Do not worry - USB 3.0 has already come. It not only can move data faster and provide more power, but it is compatible with USB 2.0 devices.

Developed by the USB Implementers Forum (via USB - IF) of the USB 3.0 specification promises super theory 5Gbit/sec maximum speed. With the USB 2.0 of 480Mbit/sec.

The key is integration of old and new NEC's μPD720200 controller chip. It has USB 2.0 and 3.0 for the transmission circuit can be used, what the plug now, this is the only game in town, the type differ, but for other companies, including Symwave, Fujitsu, and VIA, to see about their own USB 3.0 chips in the coming months.

usb 3.0 expresscards and devices in the first round for Windows Vista and Windows 7, Apple has not decided whether to support the new standards. The basis for the USB 3.0 software has been in the Linux kernel since last fall, and the required drivers are slowly coming out.

Have several available USB 3.0 devices. To test them, I use the Lenovo ThinkPad W510 USB 3.0 built-in I tried some new equipment, including Buffalo's DriveStation USB 3.0 for the HD - HXU3 variety of external hard drive; a Star Ultra high-speed USB 3.0 to SATA hard drive drive docking station with my current Western Digital WD Caviar Blue series external drive, and Seagate's BlackArmor USB 3.0 PS 110 performance kit, portable hard drive that contains a USB 3.0, ExpressCard software.

USB 3.0 use could be slowed as a result of lack of requirement

Ready to devote $300+ over a fancy system board only to help you find USB 3.0 assistance? Yes, that most likely are not this kind of advisable, only if because Intel is due to very little hurry to help assimilate your talent tree directly into the chipsets. Discomfort corporations have got to go forth with their route to present usb 3.0 front panel kit at its models. The actual odds involving finding USB 3. 0 with a cheap-o laptop, and then, tend to be basically non-existent.

You may almost certainly speculate precisely why this can be going on: the number of job applications or even systems really need the actual 5Gb/s velocity presented by USB3.0? Ones printer plus shield don’t, as well as neither of them does ones Jump. The amount bandwidth will the particular usual USB duck have? I’m about to suppose certainly not wherever in the vicinity of 5Gb/s.

So in case there’s very little “mainstream” desire as it, and then the key reason why will Intel et al. fades involving their strategy to offer it? USB 3. 0 is actually “good enough” a good at home, and when Apple company company features coached us everything recently Ten years it’s that individuals tend to be fine having “good enough” products.

This specific isn’t to express that USB 3. 0 doesn’t have it has the utilizes. Let's say you spend just about all weekend break shooting HIGH-DEFINITION video for the college student project, as well as don’t want to be seated there all day long as you offload your data files in your current disc drive? You can help save some time presently there together with USB 3. 0 MY PARTNER AND I suspicious. (Are presently there even USB 3.0 training video video cameras nevertheless? POST do not know. )

I wow while more and more people today have USB 3.0 assistance, more and more companies shall be just about all, “Cool, let’s launch Product With USB 3. 0 now! ”

Chicken in addition to egg, MY PARTNER AND I believe.

USB 3.0 finally arrived!


What technology enthusiasts have been waiting for has finally arrived! The periphery of the USB3.0 xHCI Development Kit (PDK) provides two solutions for the host side. Its purpose is to assist companies who are developing peripherals.


The kit contains a reference to the host usb 3.0 expresscard adapter (two PCIe add-in cards), it is in the periphery of many very useful variety of tests, a 1 meter USB3.0 cable; documents; command validation tool, a prototype driver, Windows 7 and compliance drivers.

The PDK so it should help turn out a toolkit to accelerate the market price is very reasonable.

However, members must meet the standards in order to purchase the PDK:
1. The member should have a 'good reputation, the company;
2. Disclosure of the plan, they intend to do business the company products;
3. The two sides agreed to actively participate in the IDF, the International Consumer Electronics Show, exhibitions and other related high-speed USB.

USB 3.0 is Arriving

Intel demonstrated a Consumer Electronics Show in (CES) in Las Vegas, the USB 3.0 version of the work last week. This is why it will eSATA and FireWire out of date.

When the usb 3.0 sata hdd dock is expected to market in early 2010, will be 10 years now ubiquitous USB 2.0 release (April 2000). The current USB 2.0 specification running on the theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps, and can provide power.

According to USB Implementers Forum, a two billion of the USB 2.0 devices shipped in 2006 (every three people in the world I) and install the appropriate 6 million (almost everyone in the world one). November 2007, USB Implementers Forum announced USB 3.0 specification, an official at the CES 2009 Intel demonstrated the technology.

Now, the juice: USB 3.0 5Gbps commitment to the theory of maximum rate, which means it's 10 times faster than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is also full duplex, which means it can simultaneously upload and download (it is bi-directional), USB 2.0 is the only half-duplex.

With the eSATA and FireWire 800, USB 3.0 is far side of the square made superior. One eSATA, the external connections, as an internal SATA 1.0 bus running the same speed, with the highest 3Gbps theory. This makes it faster than eSATA USB 3.0 and six times faster than FireWire 800 (in 800Mbps full duplex).

The USB 3.0 also provides another advantage, eSATA is faster than FireWire 800, FireWire it can not supply. There is USB 3.0 faster than the speed advantage, even in the power supply.

Finally, USB 3.0 has a good power management, which means the device can enter the idle, pause, and sleep state. This may mean more laptop batteries and other battery-based support for USB devices such as cameras and mobile phones life.

Of course, there are other factors to consider; 3200 FireWire standard is in the works and promised to allow the existing FireWire 800 hardware, the speed of 3.2GHz. USB 2.0, is generally not consistent with its theoretical maximum throughput, because of its hardware and software configurations, which are more closely dependent on FireWire.

It's hard to say whether the USB 3.0 architecture will still be updated to use more CPU time than the same line of fire.

However, powerful hardware age (who can say "3.2GHz quad-core processor"?), Which means that all of the FireWire USB 3.0 still does not match the theoretical maximum of 5Gbps's.

The final signal that this war has been won, Apple's recent decision to favor it from the USB cable in the consumer channel FireWire. Previously, Apple was firing one of the greatest advocates. And affirmed the company will become one of the first to adopt USB 3.0.

In short, we can not wait for vendors like Gigabyte and Asus motherboards began to support the technology and mainstream PC makers such as Dell, started into their products. Of speed.

Good New and Bad News for USB 3.0

The good news

New technology is very exciting. But in the end mean? Do you still use the old USB hardware? How will the new USB technology affect your everyday life? What are the benefits?

  • Compatibility
    USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. So, whether you get a new USB 3.0 device or a new computer support USB 3.0, your old equipment will be able to with the new interface. Of course, this will be the old USB 2.0 speed. However, you can not use the USB 3.0 cable to connect USB 2.0 devices.

  • Transfer rate
    Now, I bet all this multi-gigabit per second, megabytes and sound impressive, but it actually translate to? Well, let me give you an example. With USB 3.0 from your computer has 10 GB of files to an external drive, in about 25 seconds. Using USB 2.0 it will take more than five minutes.

  • Advantages
    The USB 3.0 device will benefit most are those who have outspeed USB 2.0 interfaces, including HD cameras, Blu-ray drive, or some external hard drive.

  • Supported Operating Systems
    In Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Linux has support for USB 3.0. Mac is expected to follow. Given their age, Windows XP may not receive updates to support the new interface.

Bad news

I would like to report that there is no bad news, but it is not. For example, the bad news is the smallest.
  • Cable
    Maximum cable length USB 3.0 support reduced to about three meters, as opposed to five meters in USB 2.0. However, the use of hubs, the maximum length can be extended to 18 meters.

  • Speed limit
    Of course, not all devices will be able to increase the speed of USB 3.0 use. Magnetic hard disk drive, for example, is limited by their RPM and corresponding read / write speed. Therefore, USB 3.0 will not start full of beauty, until the computer is equipped with every default, faster hardware, such as solid-state hard drive. But we all know how quickly progress in the IT world. Give it a year or two, you will be able to fully benefit from USB 3.0 to.
Think you need more information? Computer World has an excellent review of USB 3.0 (for USB 3.0: the new speed limit), including the existing USB 3.0 hardware testing. More in-depth you desire more information? Look at the Republic of technical articles: 10 things you should know about USB 2.0 and 3.0. You also can do everything the ultra high-speed USB 3.0 USB FAQ to see.

It is not what you expected to switch to USB 3.0? If you already use USB 3.0 device, please let us know what other people feel!

exciting development of USB Flash Drive

Only a few people who can imagine the USB flash drive will be settled in our lives when they first appear. This technology, and rapidly evolving. USB interface, version 1.0 launched in 1996 and soon after by a 1.1 in 1998. With the increased demand for IT customers, it is clear that the performance of the port specification is inefficient. However, this changed in April 2000. We can be considered as peacefully as a USB flash drive USB 2.0 port began the era of the moment. It is in every respect far more than his predecessor. USB 2.0 maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbits / sec to 40 times faster then USB 1.1's.

Company has a good chance to, and keen to develop Flash drive. With the maximum read / write 40 MB / sec similar to the speed of USB memory stick seemingly endless variety of the emerging IT market.

Even so, no one thought of it as a floppy replacement, but here we are in 2010 and the floppy drive is no longer needed USB flash drive, because beyond the boot (system rescue) through the data storage, backup, all functions and transfer Can be used as an installation media. USB drives and more durable, safe and have a greater capacity of 256 GB more than 15 million times more than, 1.44 MB floppy disk.

2010 brought us another USB technology innovation steps: USB 3.0 - the most powerful USB interface usb 3.0 sata hdd dock, the largest so far an amazing 3200 Mbit / s transfer rate USB 3.0 flash drive has been launched; range from 16 GB To 256 GB and covers safety, reliability and speed field.

We already have the operating system as a very useful feature, USB flash drive, to or special USB flash drive designed to store important personal medical records could save your life one day more. Although this seems to have nothing to be done to improve the USB technology, the tremendous progress in 1998 is to further promote and strengthen the testimony of USB flash drive continuous innovation efforts.


USB 3.0 looks very promising future, and thousands of people use every day to develop new ways of USB memory stick work. Let's see what the future brings us.

Specification of USB 3.0


Introduction of usb 3.0


When the last time you were not fast enough with the technology rush? This is a situation: from San Francisco to New York flight took off three hours, but you're prepared to go to the airport, but you really want to catch all of your favorite series "House," you miss the new season. Just sent you a friend on Facebook about how much he enjoyed the film, he watched a large last night that you want, you can see a long flight you will get it. If I were you, I would think, "If I have time to simply let all the content I need now." Today, it takes about 14 minutes transfer a 25GB HD movie, and nearly 9 minutes of television programs transmitted from the PC 16GB to your handheld media devices. Fortunately, the speed of technological innovation is taking place, so that users can get the content they want much faster. One such evolution is the most common, ubiquitous interface - USB interface. Ultra high-speed usb 3.0 front panel kit, and promised to cure this situation.

Comparison with other interfaces


Several other serial communication standard, has a similar data transfer rate of USB 3.0. For example, on behalf of the 5Gbps PCIe 2.0 and Serial ATA (SATA) of III, a 6Gbps data rate data transmission rate.

Although the USB 3.0 PHY architecture inspired from the PCIe, several key differences between the export. The USB 3.0 PHY requirements, must compensate for cable loss equalizer implementation. This makes the USB cable will be like three meters long. In the PCIe and SATA physical layer there is no such equalizer. Function described above is unique LFPS USB 3.0 physical layer.

A PCIe link may include (ie send and receive dual differential line) multi-lane, in order to increase the link bandwidth of USB 3.0, only supports single line. In these three interfaces, real plug and play feature is only USB interface. SATA standard does not support hot swap, but the SATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode of operation of the control team.

PCIe peripheral functions are typically used to connect cards (such as graphics card) to a PC.SATA board directly to the choice of mass storage devices, such as hard drives and optical drive interface, so most computers with integrated SATA host adapter. On the other hand the USB as a generic or between super-interface of the host and almost any high-speed bridges.

USB 3.0 is also very suitable for a given increase in transmission bandwidth video interface options. This may indicate that in the digital living room, some interesting applications - including television, set-top boxes, monitors and game consoles. With the likes of USB, VGA, DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI video interface, the main advantage of the popularity of the interface. And HDCP 2.0 includes a USB interface, content protection, you can enable the USB 3.0. Another advantage is that, USB is royalty-free.

Conclusion:


USB 3.0 is expected to be a lot of bandwidth applications ubiquitous solution. It is with the evolution of the highly successful USB 2.0 is to promote consumer demand, adding multimedia and high-density storage technology. USB 3.0 is definitely the trigger in the hype cycle technology, and must show that it can enter the mass market through a leading peak on the high expectations. This day coming, you can get all the content, you're on your way to the airport in less than a minute.
