There are motherboards that still have no USB 3.0 ports, or just don't have enough of them, so Kurotoshikou decided to release the USB3.0R-P4-PCIe.
Powered by a Renesas μPD720201 chipset, it uses the PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface to power four USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports.
Only three of them are on the rear expa... |

Super talent ST4 is the name of the newest series of flash drive units, the one that, oddly enough, hasn't been detailed even though it is up for sale.
One would think that a company would list all the assets of their product when they formally release it, but Super Talent didn't do so for some reason.

Although SuperSpeed USB 3.0 managed to impose itself as the next generation high speed peripheral interface, chipset manufacturers have been slow to implement the new standard into their products, leaving Renesas (formally NEC) and its µPD720200 chip full control of the market.
According to a research conduc... |

Though USB 2.0 is mainstream and USB 3.0 still a niche, it seems that the latter has already gained enough popularity as to cause analysts to reach the conclusion that USB 2.0 will quite quickly lose ground to it over the next few years. As end-users no doubt are aware, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification h... |

The largest woe of the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface is the fact that it is not nearly as widespread as its predecessor, and still mainstream, USB 2.0. Granted, storage solutions developers did release a decent number of USB 3.0-ready storage units, but they are still few, as are motherboards that support the connect... |

Since it was revealed all those months ago, the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface standard has actually grown in popularity. Still, it hasn't become nearly as widespread as it could have been if Intel and Advanced Micro Devices had decided to include native support for it in their latest chipset releases. Now, AMD a... |

Back when the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed standard was finalized, NEC was the first to offer controller chips capable of enabling a motherboard to handle the new transfer rate of 5Gbps. Then, some time later, other companies started offering such chips, such as ASMedia, Fresco Logic, Via Technology. These players have since ... |

The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface has already made its way into practically every type of storage solution, even despite not being natively supported by AMD and Intel chipsets. Still, instead of unveiling some new portable hard drive or SSD, or some flash drive or another capable of employing this standard, Techu... |

The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard, though not natively supported on any Intel or AMD chipsets yet, has grown in popularity despite the odds. Apparently, the 5Gbps bandwidth is more than appealing enough for hardware makers to decide on using third-party solutions, like controller chips. For makers of enclosures, this m... |

No doubt all end-users have at least heard of the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard. This technology has a theoretical maximum throughput that is ten times higher than its predecessor's, USB 2.0. This obviously sparked great interest among hardware makers, which is why there already are a decent number of devices that... |

It has been months since USB 3.0 became a standard, but, even with all the newest chipsets that AMD and Intel have or plan to introduce, the interface is still not natively supported on any platforms. On the one hand, this means that platforms and storage units with support for the connection will be scarce for quit... |

End-users may be under the impression that the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed interface standard is picking up speed and, in a way, it is, but the actual extent might not be altogether clear. Obviously, the tenfold increase in data transfer that the new interface enables, over USB 2.0, makes its adoption more than desirable, but... |

It would appear that the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface has genuinely picked up some speed if the number of certified SuperSpeed products has increased by 25% in just one month. Back at the start of March, USB-IF (the USB Implementers Forum) came out and announced that 50 devices had passed its certification tests. Now... |

The USB 3.0 interface is probably one of the technologies that have seen the greatest and most widespread marketing backing, even though the actual hardware support is still rather restricted. So far, there haven't been chipsets with native SuperSpeed capabilities, the only solution being the use of an NEC USB 3... |

So far, the only way a hardware maker could implement the USB 3.0 connectivity in a new motherboard was by purchasing a special controller from NEC. It could be said that NEC holds a monopoly in this area, which is, in part, the reason why the standard's price has not gone down very much since the first products... |

Ever since it was launched, the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard has been steadily growing in popularity, even though it is not natively supported on motherboards, except if a special controller from NEC is included. This limitation has, so far, prevented the interface from even approaching the mainstream. Even so, howeve... |

When the USB 3.0 technology came out, it was rather clear that its tenfold increase in performance, compared with the performance of the USB 2.0, would make it an instant winner, but real widespread availability has been difficult to achieve because it is not natively supported on many motherboards. This, however, do... |

The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard has been around for a while, but it definitely hasn't become very widespread. While there are a decent number of USB 3.0-enabled flash drives, HDDs and other external storage devices, among other things, there are still factors that continue to limit the adoption of the new interf... |

It is no surprise that the USB 3.0 standard has seen such a rapid rise in popularity, considering that it can achieve read and write speeds ten times faster than those of its predecessor. In fact, even though actual platforms with this functionality built in are relatively few, a decent amount of external storage dev... |
