What is USB Generation?
USB (Universal Serial Bus) generation refers to the version of the USB standard that a pendrive supports.
USB technology has evolved over time, with new generations offering faster transfer speeds and other improvements. The most common USB generations for pendrives are: USB 2.0: This is an older version of the USB standard, but it is still widely used. USB 2.0 pendrives typically offer data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps. USB 3.0/3.1: This is a newer version of the USB standard that offers faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0. USB 3.0/3.1 pendrives typically offer data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. USB 3.2: This is the latest version of the USB standard, and it offers even faster transfer speeds than USB 3.0/3.1. USB 3.2 pendrives typically offer data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It is important to note that the performance of a pendrive may be affected by factors other than the USB generation, such as the specific controller and memory components used. Additionally, the transfer speeds may be limited by the capabilities of the device that the pendrive is connected to.
