| Oct 18, 2016 at 11:38 | comment | added | Luciano | Could it be revised to ensure the kind of prefixes are being used ? Maybe, it should use the SI (International System of Units) or at least explicity state that MB doesn't means MiB, or others Kib, KiB, Mib, MIB, and so on... physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html | |

Added thunderbolt 3. First boards with that are now on the market.

added 393 characters in body

| Jul 15, 2015 at 1:07 | comment | added | Marc-Andre R. | @BennettMcElwee Actually, as you said, the right number based on reality depends on a lot of factors. Chipset used, cable quality, connected device chipset itself, so many factors that it's hard to have a rough estimate of what the reality really is. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 21:16 | comment | added | Bennett McElwee | "you will never experience these speed in everyday life" Well, everyday life is where we all live, so it would be nice to have some information that is based on reality. I guess those are harder to come by. | |

Added speed listing in Bytes per second as well (for convenience).

Added Thunderbolt for completeness. This answer shows up inline when googling 'usb 2 speeds'

Add that speed are theorical.

| May 9, 2010 at 1:11 | comment | added | Moshe | @Troggy - so for video editing... ? ... FireWire 400 is better? | |
| May 8, 2010 at 2:25 | comment | added | mpez0 | @techie007 - we used to refer to things like raw bit rate as the "guaranteed not to exceed speed." | |
| May 7, 2010 at 20:01 | comment | added | Troggy | The only note I would add is if(USB 2 vs FW400) you are using external hard drives and transferring a lot of data , you will see better performance from firewire 400 vs usb 2.0 due to the design of the interfaces. | |

| May 7, 2010 at 19:49 | comment | added | Moshe | @techie007 - I knew that. i had a conversation about my iMac and external drives with Apple support, hence the question. +1 for the edits. Readability improved, thanks. | |
| May 7, 2010 at 19:42 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | +1: Additionally it should be noted that these are theoretical maximums, and you will never actually achieve these speeds for a sustained amount of time. | |

Changed MBPS and GBPS to Mbit/s and Gbit/s for clarity (Mb = MegaBIT, MB = MegaBYTE), plus whitespace fixes. :)
