This adapter’s USB 3.0 achieves 5.5 times faster sequential 
reads than USB 2.0, boosting speeds from 33.2 MB/s to 185.3 
MB/s. This adapter also achieves  10% faster sequential reads 
than available with the previous ExpressCard IFC-EC2U3/UC

USB 3.0 transfers data at rates more than ten times that of 
USB 2.0 (5 Gbps* vs. 480 Mbps). This speeds up backup 
and transfer of photos, music, videos, documents, and other 
important data. The faster transfer rate also improves the 
performance of scanners, media players, and other peripheral 
devices supporting USB 3.0.
