The Universal Serial Bus (USB) as found in most of the peripherals around has the biggest success stories never before, replacing the slow serial and parallel yores. Its easy plug in enables to access the device without rebooting.
Then came USB 2.0 which has better performance than 1.0 and with high bit rate of 480 Mbps, whereas the former version had maximum speed of 12.1 Mbps. It's not hyperbole to say that USB, despite its humble status as a mere connector, is one of the most important computer technologies to ever be invented.
The icing on the cake this year is USB 3.0 with staggering speed of 4.80 Gbps which is 10 times the speed of existing system that quenches the thirst for transfer of huge chunk data which includes the High Definition videos. With the forecoming devices like USB 3.0 disk dock, you can transfer data in hyper-speeds.
The demonstration of the USB 3.0 shows a optical cable with same connector is backward compatible allowing to use the former versions of the USB. It also promises better power efficiency, which allows better charging of the peripherals.
It is planned to be released next year.
