[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1641277, member: 24160"] First: There is some misunderstanding. The rating of USB 3 is 5 Gbps not 5 GBps. That is gigabits not gigabytes. 5 Gbps = 625 MBps = 0.625 GBps. Second: That rating is the "max theoretical bandwidth". Third: In order to achieve the max bandwidth, the device you are reading from has to have the ability of reading that fast and the device you are writing to has to have the ability to write that fast. Most hard drives today max out at about 100-130 MBps write speeds. So even if the USB 3 connection allows 625 MBps, the issue here is the hard drive - not the USB 3 connection. [/QUOTE]
