About USB 3.0
USB 3.0 has a maximum interface transfer rate, or bandwidth, of 5 Gbps (Gigabits per second). The performance depends on many factors including: CPU, file system overhead, number of attached USB devices and more. Given these and other factors, in day-to-day use you can expect maximum, sustained transfer rates around 55 MB/s (Megabytes per second). USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. This means you can connect a USB 3.0 device to USB 2.0 port, and vice versa. However, interface transfer rates are limited by the interface with the lower speed. If you plug the SoloPRO into a USB 2.0 port on your computer, data transfer rates will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps).
NOTE: The cable supplied with your system has been optimized for performance. Longer cables may not work or only work intermittently.
