For what purpose?

Bigger numbers, i guess?

But it makes it confusing, why rename USB 3.0 to 3.1 (gen 1) it's so stupid.

>>58450325
The consumer shouldn't understand what's buying.

Portable ssds

Does the usb 3.0 port that's been changed use a type C connector?

>>58450496
3.1 gen 1 is 3.0 USB-A

>>58451430
No it's not. The physical connector is entirely independent from the speed

fuck usb 3, it only interferes with bluetooth devices

get a wifi ssd

>>58450208
> USB 3.0 is now outdated, I don't want it!
> Fine. Here is your USB 3.1 Gen1 device.

usb 3.0 is fucking aids. can't even max out HDD transfer speeds

>>58450208
to make it more confusing, it was just too straightforward

>>58450208
3.1 refers to the underlying protocol having changed to using a larger data packet size. 3.0 is still around and uses the smaller data packet size

the gen1 and the gen2 are talking about the speeds of 5Gbps or 10Gbps

the type A and C connectors can be used for any of these
