Universal Serial Bus 3.0 (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0), marketed as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB, is the third major version of the Universal Serial Bus (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB) standard for interfacing computers and electronic devices. It was released in November 2008. The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 specification defined a new architecture and protocol, named SuperSpeed, which included a new lane for providing full-duplex data transfers that physically required five additional wires and pins, while also adding a new signal coding scheme (8b/10b symbols, 5 Gbit/s; also known later as Gen 1), and preserving the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 architecture and protocols and therefore keeping the original four pins and wires for the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 backward-compatibility, resulting in nine wires in total and nine or ten pins at connector interfaces (ID-pin is not wired). The new transfer rate, marketed as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB (SS), can transfer signals at up to 5 Gbit/s with raw data rate of 500 MB/s after encoding overhead, which is about 10 times faster than High-Speed (maximum for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 standard). 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-A and B connectors are usually blue, to distinguish them from 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 connectors, as recommended by the specification, and by the initials SS.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1, released in July 2013, is the successor specification that fully replaces the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 specification. 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 preserves the existing SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB architecture and protocol with its operation mode (8b/10b symbols, 5 Gbit/s), giving it the label 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1. 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 introduced an Enhanced SuperSpeed System – while preserving and incorporating the SuperSpeed architecture and protocol (aka SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB) – with an additional SuperSpeedPlus architecture adding and providing a new coding schema (128b/132b symbols) and protocol named SuperSpeedPlus (aka SuperSpeedPlus 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB, sometimes marketed as SuperSpeed+ or SS+) while defining a new transfer mode called 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2 with a signal speed of 10 Gbit/s and a raw data rate of 1212 MB/s over existing Type-A, Type-B, and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C connections, more than twice the rate of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 (aka Gen 1). Backward-compatibility is still given by the parallel 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 implementation. 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-B connectors are usually teal-colored.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2, released in September 2017, fully replaces the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 specification. The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 specification added a second lane to the Enhanced SuperSpeed System besides other enhancements, so that SuperSpeedPlus 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB implements the Gen 2x1 (formerly known as 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2), and the two new Gen 1x2 and Gen 2x2 operation modes while operating on two lanes. The SuperSpeed architecture and protocol (aka SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB) still implements the one-lane Gen 1x1 (formerly known as 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1) operation mode. Therefore, two-lane operations, namely 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 (10 Gbit/s with raw data rate of 1 GB/s after encoding overhead) and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbit/s, 2.422 GB/s), are only possible with Full-Featured 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Type-C Fabrics (24 pins). As of 2023, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 and Gen 2x2 are not implemented on many products yet; Intel, however, starts to include them in its LGA 1200 Rocket Lake chipsets (500 series) in January 2021 and AMD in its LGA 1718 AM5 chipsets in September 2022, but Apple never provided them. On the other hand, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 (5 Gbit/s) and Gen 2x1 (10 Gbit/s) implementations have become quite common. Again, backward-compatibility is given by the parallel 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 implementation.
Overview
The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 specification is similar to 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0, but with many improvements and an alternative implementation. Earlier 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB concepts such as endpoints and the four transfer types (bulk, control, isochronous and interrupt) are preserved but the protocol and electrical interface are different. The specification defines a physically separate channel to carry 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 traffic. The changes in this specification make improvements in the following areas:
Transfer speed – 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 adds a new transfer type called SuperSpeed or SS, 5 Gbit/s (electrically, it is more similar to PCI Express 2.0 and SATA than 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0)
Increased bandwidth – 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 uses two unidirectional data paths instead of only one: one to receive data and the other to transmit
Power management – U0 to U3 link power management states are defined
Improved bus use – a new feature is added (using packets NRDY and ERDY) to let a device asynchronously notify the host of its readiness, with no need for polling
Support for rotating media – the bulk protocol is updated with a new feature called Stream Protocol that allows a large number of logical streams within an Endpoint
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 has transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s or 5000 Mbit/s, about ten times faster than 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (0.48 Gbit/s) even without considering that 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 is full duplex whereas 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 is half duplex. This gives 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 a potential total bidirectional bandwidth twenty times greater than 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0. Considering flow control, packet framing and protocol overhead, applications can expect 450 MB/s of bandwidth.
= Architecture and features
=In 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0, dual-bus architecture is used to allow both 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (Full Speed, Low Speed, or High Speed) and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) operations to take place simultaneously, thus providing backward compatibility. The structural topology is the same, consisting of a tiered star topology with a root hub at level 0 and hubs at lower levels to provide bus connectivity to devices.
= Data transfer and synchronization
=The SuperSpeed transaction is initiated by a host request, followed by a response from the device. The device either accepts the request or rejects it; if accepted, the device sends data or accepts data from the host. If the endpoint is halted, the device responds with a STALL handshake. If there is lack of buffer space or data, it responds with a Not Ready (NRDY) signal to tell the host that it is not able to process the request. When the device is ready, it sends an Endpoint Ready (ERDY) to the host which then reschedules the transaction.
The use of unicast and the limited number of multicast packets, combined with asynchronous notifications, enables links that are not actively passing packets to be put into reduced power states, which allows better power management.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 uses a spread-spectrum clock varying by up to 5000 ppm at 33 kHz to reduce EMI. As a result, the receiver needs to continually "chase" the clock to recover the data. Clock recovery is helped by the 8b/10b encoding and other designs.
= Data encoding
=The "SuperSpeed" bus provides for a transfer mode at a nominal rate of 5.0 Gbit/s, in addition to the three existing transfer modes. Accounting for the encoding overhead, the raw data throughput is 4 Gbit/s, and the specification considers it reasonable to achieve 3.2 Gbit/s (400 MB/s) or more in practice.
All data is sent as a stream of eight-bit (one-byte) segments that are scrambled and converted into 10-bit symbols via 8b/10b encoding; this helps prevent transmissions from generating electromagnetic interference (EMI). Scrambling is implemented using a free-running linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The LFSR is reset whenever a COM symbol is sent or received.
Unlike previous standards, the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 standard does not specify a maximum cable length, requiring only that all cables meet an electrical specification: for copper cabling with AWG 26 wires, the maximum practical length is 3 meters (10 ft).
= Power and charging
=As with earlier versions of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 provides power at 5 volts nominal. The available current for low-power (one unit load) SuperSpeed devices is 150 mA, an increase from the 100 mA defined in 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0. For high-power SuperSpeed devices, the limit is six unit loads or 900 mA (4.5 W)—almost twice 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0's 500 mA.: section 9.2.5.1 Power Budgeting
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports may implement other 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB specifications for increased power, including the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Battery Charging Specification for up to 1.5 A or 7.5 W, or, in the case of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1, the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Power Delivery Specification for charging the host device up to 100 W.
= Naming scheme
=Starting with the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 specification, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF introduced a new naming scheme. To help companies with branding of the different operation modes, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF recommended branding the 5, 10, and 20 Gbit/s capabilities as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 5Gbps, SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 10 Gbps, and SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 20 Gbps, respectively.
In 2023, they were replaced again, removing "SuperSpeed", with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 5Gbps, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 10Gbps, and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 20Gbps. With new Packaging and Port logos.
Availability
The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced on 17 November 2008 that the specification of version 3.0 had been completed and had made the transition to the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Implementers Forum (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF), the managing body of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB specifications. This move effectively opened the specification to hardware developers for implementation in future products.
The first 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 consumer products were announced and shipped by Buffalo Technology in November 2009, while the first certified 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 consumer products were announced on 5 January 2010, at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including two motherboards by Asus and Gigabyte Technology.
Manufacturers of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 host controllers include, but are not limited to, Renesas Electronics, Fresco Logic, ASMedia, Etron, VIA Technologies, Texas Instruments, NEC and Nvidia. As of November 2010, Renesas and Fresco Logic have passed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF certification. Motherboards for Intel's Sandy Bridge processors have been seen with Asmedia and Etron host controllers as well. On 28 October 2010, Hewlett-Packard released the HP Envy 17 3D featuring a Renesas 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 host controller several months before some of their competitors. AMD worked with Renesas to add its 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 implementation into its chipsets for its 2011 platforms. At CES2011, Toshiba unveiled a laptop called "Qosmio X500" that included 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0, and Sony released a new series of Sony VAIO laptops that would include 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0. As of April 2011, the Inspiron and Dell XPS series were available with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports, and, as of May 2012, the Dell Latitude laptop series were as well; yet the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB root hosts failed to work at SuperSpeed under Windows 8.
= Adding to existing equipment
=Additional power for multiple ports on a laptop PC may be obtained in the following ways:
Some ExpressCard-to-3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 adapters may connect by a cable to an additional 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 port on the computer, which supplies additional power.
The ExpressCard may have a socket for an external power supply.
If the external device has an appropriate connector, it can be powered by an external power supply.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 port provided by an ExpressCard-to-3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 adapter may be connected to a separately-powered 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 hub, with external devices connected to that 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 hub.
On the motherboards of desktop PCs which have PCI Express (PCIe) slots (or the older PCI standard), 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 support can be added as a PCI Express expansion card. In addition to an empty PCIe slot on the motherboard, many "PCI Express to 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0" expansion cards must be connected to a power supply such as a Molex adapter or external power supply, in order to power many 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 devices such as mobile phones, or external hard drives that have no power source other than 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB; as of 2011, this is often used to supply two to four 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports with the full 0.9 A (4.5 W) of power that each 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 port is capable of (while also transmitting data), whereas the PCI Express slot itself cannot supply the required amount of power.
If faster connections to storage devices are the reason to consider 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0, an alternative is to use eSATAp, possibly by adding an inexpensive expansion slot bracket that provides an eSATAp port; some external hard disk drives provide both 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB (2.0 or 3.0) and eSATAp interfaces. To ensure compatibility between motherboards and peripherals, all 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-certified devices must be approved by the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Implementers Forum (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF). At least one complete end-to-end test system for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 designers is available on the market.
= Adoption
=The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Promoter Group announced the release of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 in November 2008. On 5 January 2010, the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF announced the first two certified 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 motherboards, one by ASUS and one by Giga-Byte Technology. Previous announcements included Gigabyte's October 2009 list of seven P55 chipset 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 motherboards, and an Asus motherboard that was cancelled before production.
Commercial controllers were expected to enter into volume production in the first quarter of 2010. On 14 September 2009, Freecom announced a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 external hard drive. On 4 January 2010, Seagate announced a small portable HDD bundled with an additional 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ExpressCard, targeted for laptops (or desktops with ExpressCard slot addition) at the CES in Las Vegas Nevada.
The Linux kernel mainline contains support for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 since version 2.6.31, which was released in September 2009.
FreeBSD supports 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 since version 8.2, which was released in February 2011.
Windows 8 was the first Microsoft operating system to offer built in support for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0. In Windows 7 support was not included with the initial release of the operating system. However, drivers that enable support for Windows 7 are available through websites of hardware manufacturers.
Intel released its first chipset with integrated 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports in 2012 with the release of the Panther Point chipset. Some industry analysts have claimed that Intel was slow to integrate 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 into the chipset, thus slowing mainstream adoption. These delays may be due to problems in the CMOS manufacturing process, a focus to advance the Nehalem platform, a wait to mature all the 3.0 connections standards (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, SATA 3.0) before developing a new chipset, or a tactic by Intel to favor its new Thunderbolt interface. Apple, Inc. announced laptops with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports on 11 June 2012, nearly four years after 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 was finalized.
AMD began supporting 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 with its Fusion Controller Hubs in 2011. Samsung Electronics announced support of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 with its ARM-based Exynos 5 Dual platform intended for handheld devices.
Issues
= Speed and compatibility
=Various early 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 implementations widely used the NEC/Renesas μD72020x family of host controllers, which are known to require a firmware update to function properly with some devices.
A factor affecting the speed of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB storage devices (more evident with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 devices, but also noticeable with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 ones) is that the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Mass Storage Bulk-Only Transfer (BOT) protocol drivers are generally slower than the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Attached SCSI protocol (UAS[P]) drivers.
On some old (2009–2010) Ibex Peak-based motherboards, the built-in 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 chipsets are connected by default via a 2.5 GT/s PCI Express lane of the PCH, which then did not provide full PCI Express 2.0 speed (5 GT/s), so it did not provide enough bandwidth even for a single 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 port. Early versions of such boards (e.g. the Gigabyte Technology P55A-UD4 or P55A-UD6) have a manual switch (in BIOS) that can connect the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 chip to the processor (instead of the PCH), which did provide full-speed PCI Express 2.0 connectivity even then, but this meant using fewer PCI Express 2.0 lanes for the graphics card. However, newer boards (e.g. Gigabyte P55A-UD7 or the Asus P7P55D-E Premium) used a channel bonding technique (in the case of those boards provided by a PLX PEX8608 or PEX8613 PCI Express switch) that combines two PCI Express 2.5 GT/s lanes into a single PCI Express 5 GT/s lane (among other features), thus obtaining the necessary bandwidth from the PCH.
= Radio frequency interference
=3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 devices and cables may interfere with wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This may result in a drop in throughput or complete loss of response with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices. When manufacturers were unable to resolve the interference issues in time, some mobile devices, such as the Vivo Xplay 3S, had to drop support for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 just before they shipped. Various strategies can be applied to resolve the problem, ranging from simple solutions such as increasing the distance of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 devices from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, to applying additional shielding around internal computer components.
Connectors
A 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-A receptacle accepts either a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-A plug or a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Standard-A plug. Conversely, it is possible to plug a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-A plug into a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Standard-A receptacle. This is a principle of backward compatibility. The Standard-A plug is used for connecting to a computer port, at the host side.
A 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle accepts either a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-B plug or a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Standard-B plug. Backward compatibility applies to connecting a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Standard-B plug into a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle. However, it is not possible to plug a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-B plug into a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Standard-B receptacle, due to the physically larger connector. The Standard-B plug is used at the device side.
Since 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 ports may coexist on the same machine and they look similar, the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 specification recommends that the Standard-A 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 receptacle have a blue insert (Pantone 300C color). The same color-coding applies to the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Standard-A plug.: sections 3.1.1.1 and 5.3.1.3
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 also introduced a new Micro-B cable plug, which consists of a standard 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 1.x/2.0 Micro-B cable plug, with an additional 5-pin plug "stacked" beside it. That way, the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Micro-B host receptacle preserves its backward compatibility with the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 1.x/2.0 Micro-B cable plug, allowing devices with 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Micro-B ports to run at 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 speeds on 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Micro-B cables. However, it is not possible to plug a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Micro-B plug into a 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 Micro-B receptacle, due to the physically larger connector.
= Pinouts
=The connector has the same physical configuration as its predecessor but with five more pins.
The VBUS, D−, D+, and GND pins are required for 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 communication. The five additional 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 pins are two differential pairs and one ground (GND_DRAIN). The two additional differential pairs are for SuperSpeed data transfer; they are used for full duplex SuperSpeed signaling. The GND_DRAIN pin is for drain wire termination and to control EMI and maintain signal integrity.
= Backward compatibility
=3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 and 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier) Type-A plugs and receptacles are designed to interoperate.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-B receptacles, such as those found on peripheral devices, are larger than in 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier versions), and accept both the larger 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-B plug and the smaller 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier) Type-B plug. 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-B plugs are larger than 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier) Type-B plugs; therefore, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-B plugs cannot be inserted into 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier) Type-B receptacles.
Micro 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 (Micro-B) plug and receptacle are intended primarily for small portable devices such as smartphones, digital cameras and GPS devices. The Micro 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 receptacle is backward compatible with the Micro 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 plug.
A receptacle for eSATAp, which is an eSATA/3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB combo, is designed to accept 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Type-A plugs from 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 (or earlier), so it also accepts 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Type-A plugs.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1
In January 2013 the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB group announced plans to update 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 to 10 Gbit/s (1250 MB/s). The group ended up creating a new 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB specification, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1, which was released on 31 July 2013, replacing the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 standard. The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 specification takes over the existing 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0's SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB transfer rate, now referred to as 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1, and introduces a faster transfer rate called SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 10 Gbps, corresponding to operation mode 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2, putting it on par with a single first-generation Thunderbolt channel. The new mode's logo features a caption stylized as SUPERSPEED+; this refers to the updated SuperSpeedPlus protocol. The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2 mode also reduces line encoding overhead to just 3% by changing the encoding scheme to 128b/132b, with raw data rate of 1,212 MB/s. The first 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2 implementation demonstrated real-world transfer speeds of 7.2 Gbit/s.
The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 specification includes the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 specification while fully preserving its dedicated physical layer, architecture, and protocol in parallel. 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 specification defines the following operation modes:
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1 – newly marketed as SuperSpeed or SS, 5 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 8b/10b encoding (raw data rate: 500 MB/s); replaces 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2 – new, marketed as SuperSpeed+ or SS+, 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding (raw data rate: 1212 MB/s).
The nominal data rate in bytes accounts for bit-encoding overhead. The physical SuperSpeed signaling bit rate is 5 Gbit/s. Since transmission of every byte takes 10 bit times, the raw data overhead is 20%, so the raw byte rate is 500 MB/s, not 625. Similarly, for Gen 2 link the encoding is 128b/132b, so transmission of 16 bytes physically takes 16.5 bytes, or 3% overhead. Therefore, the new raw byte-rate is 128/132 * 10 Gbit/s = 9.697 Gbit/s = 1212 MB/s. In reality any operation mode has additional link management and protocol overhead, so the best-case achievable data rates for the Gen 2 operation mode are of roughly below 800 MB/s for reading bulk transfers only.
The re-specification of 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 as "3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1" was misused by some manufacturers to advertise products with signaling rates of only 5 Gbit/s as "3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1" by omitting the defining generation.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2
On 25 July 2017, a press release from the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0 Promoter Group detailed a pending update to the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB Type-C specification, defining the doubling of bandwidth for existing 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C cables. Under the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 specification, released 22 September 2017, existing SuperSpeed certified 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 cables will be able to operate at 10 Gbit/s (up from 5 Gbit/s), and SuperSpeed+ certified 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cables will be able to operate at 20 Gbit/s (up from 10 Gbit/s). The increase in bandwidth is a result of multi-lane operation over existing wires that were intended for flip-flop capabilities of the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C connector.
The 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 standard includes the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 specification with four dedicated wires on the physical layer. The Enhanced SuperSpeed System encompasses both, but separated – and in parallel to the 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 2.0 implementation:
SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB (based on SuperSpeed-architecture and -protocols):
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 – newly marketed as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 5Gbps (replaces SuperSpeed or SS), 5 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 8b/10b encoding (raw data rate: 500 MB/s); replaces 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 1, or 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.0, respectively.
SuperSpeedPlus 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB (based on SuperSpeedPlus-architecture and -protocols):
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 – newly marketed as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 10 Gbps (replaces SuperSpeed+ or SS+), 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding (raw data rate: 1212 MB/s); replaces 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.1 Gen 2.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 – new, 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 2 lanes using 8b/10b encoding (raw data rate: 1000 MB/s).
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 – new, marketed as SuperSpeed 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 20 Gbps, 20 Gbit/s signaling rate over 2 lanes using 128b/132b encoding (raw data rate: 2424 MB/s).
As with the previous version, the same considerations around encoding and raw data rates apply. Although both Gen 1x2 and Gen 2(x1) signal at 10 Gbit/s, Gen 1x2 uses the older, less efficient 8b/10b line coding which results in a lower raw data rate compared with Gen 2(x1), though both using the newer SuperSpeedPlus protocol.
In May 2018, Synopsys demonstrated the first 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 operation mode, where a Windows PC was connected to a storage device, reaching an average data rate of 1600 MB/s for reading bulk transmissions, which is 66% of its raw throughput.
3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 is supported with the default Windows 10 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB drivers and in Linux kernels 4.18 and onwards.
In February 2019, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-IF simplified the marketing guidelines by excluding Gen 1x2 mode and required the SuperSpeed trident logos to include maximum transfer speed.
Two-lane operation (3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 1x2, 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB 3.2 Gen 2x2) is only possible with Full-Featured 3/?s=usb" target="_blank">USB-C Fabrics.
