Next Level Performance & Connectivity USB 3.1 allows professional desktop Mac & PC users to connect incredibly fast storage devices to their computers. With a throughput of 10Gb/s, USB 3.1 doubles USB 3.0’s 5Gb/s throughput providing next level performance with incredible versatility. USB 3.1 is the new standard of USB connectivity providing a new benchmark for use with today’s leading edge USB 3.1 devices. Whether you are connecting fast RAID storage solutions or transferring high resolution photographs from SD card readers, the FASTA-6GU3 Plus will transfer your data incredibly fast. Users with SSD storage devices will especially see the benefit of using USB 3.1 over previous versions of USB. |
Type-A & Type-C CalDigit has included not only the standard USB Type-A connector, but also the new Type-C connector that is becoming more prevalent in a vast amount of devices.
