On November 17, 2008, we demonstrated a USB 3.0 Device streaming uncompressed HD video across a USB 3.0 cable at data rates exceeding 460 Megabytes per second.

In addition, it is much faster than the targeted 320 Megabytes per second targeted by the USB-IF for effective throughput. This demonstrates that the protocol is capable to moving data at these rates. More on this later.

Stick it in a small bag, or a clean sock, and stick it in a drawer with my Compact Flash cards, SD cards, and Flash drives. In 1 month, rinse, repeat.

This quick article is to correct some press impressions that may set expectations to a different level than what is actually planned. I am a great fan of USB 3.0, so my views are biased. I just don’t want the critics beating up USB because they expected.

Eric started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, he returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and he’s been here since. He also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006.
