USB 3.0 is the latest version of USB technology, which is designed to connect many kinds of peripherals to computers with a uniform connector.
USB 3.0 is approximately 10 times faster at transferring data than USB 2.0. A prototype of the USB 3.0 technology was displayed at CES 2009.
Initial data speeds are not at the peak of the specification, and are not expected to be when consumer devices hit the retail shelves in late 2009 or 2010.TG Daily: CES 2009: USB 3.0 slower... (January 7, 2008)
