USB
(Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to a serial interface standard developed
to replace the conventional interface standards such
as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps
(12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data
rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB
1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of
IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices
supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW
that require a high data rate.
