The Japanese NEC announces reaching a speed of 16 Gb / s with a technology similar to that of USB 3.0...

NEC was the first to propose a controller SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0 or, see our article detailing the performance of USB 3.0). This chip is now used by many industry players. The Japanese, however, has not stopped its research on the subject, and past results are promising. A throughput of 16 Gb / her could be achieved with a fairly similar to USB. In comparison, the maximum flow of SuperSpeed USB is 3.3 times lower at 4.8 Gb / s.

No devices or mounting device (SSD RAID example) can reach a speed of 2 Gb / s to our knowledge. However, there is still time to see coming because NEC has yet to validate its implementation by the governing bodies of USB.

Intel will launch its technology Light Peak, which achieves a throughput of 10 Gb / s, by the end of the year. It will mark the fastest interfaces...
