Well, it’s complicated, but basically, USB 3.0 offers it’s users such great functionality that technology needed to take a little time to adapt. This is why only newer computer and laptop models tend to be equipped with standard USB 3 ports and hubs.

Even better, USB 3.0 hubs allow their users to enjoy much-improved performance and functionality. Not only are they built to be conveniently backward compatible with other USB 2.0 devices, but they also can pull off nifty tricks like simultaneous downloads and uploads at the same time.

However, no matter the bandwidth, they still offer more efficient power usage and charging technology while ensuring optimal functioning from all your devices, and these are qualities that anybody can appreciate!
