Why USB3.0?
Data rate Requirements
Increase data itself
- HD Video: 4.7GB(DVD-R), 25G(BD-R)
Increase the size of media
- HDD: 500GB, HD-DVD:15GB
New higher data rate media
- Flash based products (SSD, HHD. etc.)

USB3.0 TypeA cable is completely compatible

to USB1.1 & 2.0 connectors, therefore suit to
all computer constructions, that will be the
most important influence USB3.0
popularization.
Blue (Pantone 300C) is the recommended color for the USB
3.0 Standard-A receptacle and plug plastic housings to help
users distinguish it from the USB 2.0 Standard-A connector.
