A client copied a 10 GB video file from an external hard drive to a desktop in about five minutes. The same file now needs to be copied to another computer, and the client wants to use the fastest built-in port on that destination PC. Which port type should the technician recommend?
USB 3.0 (also labeled SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps) provides a theoretical data rate of 5 Gbps-roughly five times faster than Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and more than ten times faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). HDMI ports are intended for audio-video signals, not file transfers. Therefore, using a USB 3.0 port will minimize the copy time for the 10 GB file.
