Not to anyone’s surprise…the USB 3.0 jacks and sockets look exactly the same.  Go figure, as part of the specification is to be backward compatible.  But taking a closer look, you do see some differences.不向任何人的突击…的USB 3.0插孔和插座，看不尽相同。转到数字，作为部分的规范是必须向后兼容，但考虑细看，你也看到了一些分歧。

The folks from Register Hardware had a peak at the USB 3.0 connectors while at CES 2008 this year.  As you can see from the image below, the USB 3.0 sockets have an additional row of connectors.  The connectors located in front are to keep the backward compatibility to USB 1.1 and USB 2.0.  The connectors placed behind this first row are for USB 3.0.乡亲从登记册的硬件有一个高峰期的USB 3.0连接器，而在CES 2008年，今年你可以看到从下面的图片中， USB 3.0插座有一个额外的行连接器。连接器位于前面的是保持落后兼容USB 1.1和USB 2.0接口。连接器后面的这第一行是为USB 3.0 。

The new USB 3.0 specification is promising transfer speeds 10 times greater than current 2.0 standards - to that of 4.7Gb/s.  There is also a fiber optics connector which hasn’t been made available yet.新的USB 3.0规范是有前途的传输速度的10倍，大于目前的2.0的标准-就是为4 .7G B/ s的也有光纤连接器一直没有提供。

As the USB 3.0 specification is expected to be finalized sometime in June of 2008 - we can expect to see product following by the end of this year.  Although I am looking forward to the new, faster USB 3.0 spec, not everyone shares the same love.  Here is what some are saying:作为的USB 3.0规格，预计将在最后一段时间在6月的2008年-我们可以期望看到的产品，以下由今年年底前，虽然我期待着新的，更快的U SB3 .0规格，不是每个人都有着同样的爱这里是什么有人说： (more…) （更多… … ）

Buffalo figured out a way to turbo boost USB 2.0 to claim increased transfer speed of up-to 60%.水牛想出办法，以推动汽轮发电机组的USB 2.0要求增加转移的速度上升至60 ％ 。
