Toshiba Mini Hard Drive in-depth
With a host of highly advanced features, your Toshiba Mini Hard
Drive is much more than high-performance data storage. It's a
truly powerful data management system that can greatly simplify
how you access, organize, and safeguard your data.
About Hi-Speed USB 2.0
Your Toshiba Drive is equipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is serial data transmission technology. The
original standard (USB 1) could transmit data at speeds of up to
12 Mbps (Megabits per second). USB 2.0 has a maximum throughput
of 480 Mbps—that's up to 40 times faster than USB 1.
Interface transfer rates up to 480 Mbps
USB 2.0 can transfer data at speeds of up to 480 Mbps. However,
data transfer rates will depend on a number of factors, including
available CPU resources, and the number of USB devices attached
to your computer. Also, as with any data I/O (input/output)
technology, some bandwidth is taken up by the data protocols
that structure and govern data transmissions. In day-to-day use,
you can expect maximum sustained transfer rates in the low to
mid-30s MB/s (Megabytes per second).
