USB 1.0 has a specified data rate of 1.5 Mbit/s for "low speed" and 12 Mbit/s for "full speed" USB 2.0 has a maximum speed of 480 Mbit/s which has been being called "high speed" however, USB 3 is on the way, (to be called "super speed") and will be capable of transfer speeds up to 5.0Gbps in full duplex. FYI: 8 bits = 1 byte (roughly) 1,024 bytes = 1 Kb (kilobyte) 122Kb = 1 Mbit
480 Mbps
USB 1.0 has the maximum speed of 1.5Mbps. USB 1.1 is a bit faster at 12Mbps. USB 2.0 is the fastest currently at 480Mbps. USB 3.0 will be released in 2010 and that will have a maximum speed of 4.8Gbit/s.
The original USB 1 system had a speed of 12 megabits per second
The theoretical maximum data rate in USB 2.0 is 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s) per controller and is shared amongst all attached devices. Some chipset manufacturers overcome this bottleneck by providing multiple USB 2.0 controllers within the Southbridge. It should be noted that USB 3.0 has now been released and operates at a theoretical top speed of 5Gbit/s.
12 Mbps for original and 480 Mbps for high speed.Darryl Erickson
480 megabits/s
It doesn't matter what is the speed is on the USB it depends on the computer's speed on its hardrive, internet, or both the speed is not based on the 2.0 USB, is the computer either its old or new or in between.
the answer is USB 2.0 High Speed
Perhaps a computer processing unit from about 2010.
USB 2.0 supports a maximum signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s
USB Transfers data at a maximum rate of 480 megabits per second.
40 times faster at maximum. 480 MB speed at 2.0.
Yes. If you have an empty PCI bus slot on the PC motherboard, you an install a PCI card which provides you 2 or 4 USB2.0 ports which are available at around $10. There are some combo cards which provide both USB and Firewire (1394 ports). - Neeraj Sharma
