Uncompromised Performance for Every
Generation of External USB Drive
HBA Vendor with Storage Management Soultions
The external storage and enclosure industry has begun
to phase out USB 2.0 devices in favor of new, faster
USB 3.0 products. USB 3.0 devices are now priced
within the same range as their USB 2.0 counterparts,
and will soon become the new “standard’ for external
storage.
Consumers have taken notice – USB 3.0 storage devices
are now becoming commonplace, as more and more
experience the performance benefits, firsthand.
However, conventional USB 3.0 cards, motherboard
ports, and device hubs restrict performance to 5Gb/s.
Although adequate for device hubs or single external
drives, the 5Gb/s transfer bandwidth limits the
performance capabilities of today’s high-speed SSD’s
and multi-drive configurations.
