How fast is USB 3.0?

    At the Consumer Electronics Show 2010, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), which is responsible for promoting the eponymous interface, announced the first 17 user products that went through official certification tests for SuperSpeed ​​USB (also known as USB 3.0).

Of the laptops, only two devices are certified SuperSpeed ​​USB - the HP Envy 15 and the Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO NF / G70.
