Belkin Introduces SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Products
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 products deliver transfer speeds of up to three times faster than USB 2.0
Download HD movies, charge mobile devices, and transfer videos and photos from your camera to your computer more quickly with SuperSpeed USB 3.0
(Rushden, UK) – 15 July, 2010 – Belkin’s new range of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 products is now available in Europe. The range includes a PCIe Add-In Card, ExpressCard, and Premium A-B and
Micro-B Cables. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 products provide high rate of transfer speeds that allow you to move content-rich media back and forth between different devices.
USB 3.0 is specified to transfer at five gigabits per second, or 10 times faster than USB 2.0*. In our tests we observed speeds of up to 180 megabits per second, or three times faster than USB 2.0, which is a great improvement for activities like large file transfers. USB 3.0 products are backwardcompatible with USB 2.0 devices and will interoperate with them as well.
With SuperSpeed USB 3.0 products you can download HD movies and other multimedia, transfer high-bandwidth media files back and forth and charge and sync devices like a digital camera or smartphone much faster than before.
