If you have used a computer in your life, chances are you have become familiar with a Universal Serial Bus; otherwise known as a USB cord. While USB 2.0 made strides in advancing the original option, USB 3.0 is even better. It already multiplies the 480Mmb/s bandwidth greatly and offers some tremendous advantages over the second version.

Similar to the first upgrade, USB 3.0 connectors and cables are compatible with hardware from the older specs. While you cannot maximize the bandwidth without using a 3.0, you can still plug the cable in without running into any problems.
