Using USB 3.0 to speed up transfer between USB 2.0 devices?

I’ve noticed that transfers between USB 2.0 drives are usually very slow. From what I understand, this is because all USB 2.0 devices connected to the same USB 2.0-host share the same 480Mb/s of bandwidth.

Is it possible to speed this up by using USB 3.0, ie connecting both drives to a USB 3.0 controller (like a USB 3.0 ExpressCard…

What USB 3.0 functionality does Intel’s iusb3mon monitor?

Along with Intel USB 3.0 Host Controller drivers, a utility called “iusb3mon.exe” (Intel USB 3.0 Monitor) was installed at startup.

Its apparent goal is to “monitor” some USB 3.0 functions. My questions are therefore:

What USB 3.0 functions it monitors in particular?

What functionality will I lose if I elect to terminate this process?

Are USB 3.0 ports yellow?

My laptop has a yellow USB port. Is it USB 3.0?

Answer [by William Hilsum]: Are USB 3.0 ports yellow?

It can be whatever colour that your manufacturer wants it to be – I do not think there is a standard.

That being said, every product I have seen that supports USB 3 seems to have a blue socket, so there may be one!

If it is yellow, my guess is that it may be a way to…

How does one install Windows 7 using USB 3?

I want to install Windows 7 onto an SSD from a USB 3 drive, however it won’t let me boot using USB 3, however it does work using USB 2. I guess that’s because Windows PE doesn’t have the needed USB 3 drivers so my question is how can I fix that?

Edit: Sorry for being slightly unclear. The installer boots but after choosing disk drive it tells me that…

Speed comparison between USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and SATA and Firewire

Which is fast, faster, fastest? I would appreciate a slowest to fastest list including USB 2.0, USB 3.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and eSata.

Answer [by Marc-Andre R.]: Speed comparison between USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and SATA and Firewire

Easy:

USB 1.1 = 12 Mbit/s

Firefire 400 = 400 Mbit/s

USB 2.0 = 480 Mbit/s

FireWire 800 = 800 Mbit/s

How to determine whether I have USB3 ports in my laptop?

Is there any way, besides reading the product manual, to determine which type/class of USB ports are present in my computer casing?

Can this obtained by visual confirmation, reading the device properties or searching for a registry key? If not, how can I do so?

Verifying USB connection speed (USB 3 or USB 2?)

I’ve purchased several new USB 3 capable drives to use with my new (USB 3 capable) laptop. They connect ok but I suspect they’re silently falling back to USB 2. The sustained transfer rates I’m seeing are around 30 Mb/s for both reads and writes, well within the practical limits of USB 2. One of the drives in particular is rated for transfers well…
