USB 3.0 is the third major version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard for
interfacing computers and electronic devices. Among other improvements,
USB 3.0 adds the new transfer mode SuperSpeed (SS) that can transfer data at up to
5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is about ten times faster than the USB 2.0 standard.
USB 3.0 connectors are usually distinguished from their USB 2.0 counterparts by blue
color-coding of the receptacles and plugs, and the initials SS.
A successor standard, USB 3.1, was released in July 2013 with the new transfer mode
SuperSpeed+ that can transfer data at up to 10 Gbit/s (1.25 GB/s, twice the rate of US3.0),
bringing its theoretical max speed on par with the first version of the Thunderbolt interface.
A flash drive is a drive using flash memory.
Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer storage medium that can be
electrically erased and reprogrammed. Introduced by Toshiba in 1984, flash memory was
developed from EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory).
