For the sake of brevity (and sanity), we generally shorten those names to USB 10Gbps, or 10Gbps USB, for instance.

In an attempt to simplify things, the USB Forum has recently changed the nomenclature to indicate throughput speed–Superspeed USB 5Gbps, Superspeed USB 10Gbps, and Superspeed USB 20Gbps–because performance is a priority for most uses. Beyond that simple statement, the story gets confusing-largely because of the plethora of variations: USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps, which is basically USB 3.0), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), and USB 3.1 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps), and now USB 3.2 and USB4. The vast majority of external drives today are USB drives. Remember, if you’re storing important data, you need a backup-online, or if the data is copious, on a second drive. Save your pennies and get one, or two of the larger drives. You may also need the extra space eventually.Īs you can see in the chart above, while the $50/1TB is the most affordable initially, it’s by far the worst deal in terms of cost per TB/GB.

The 1TB drive may seem like the best deal, but in terms of price per gigabyte, the 4TB and 5TB drives are far better deals. No? That stalled everything for me that day till I got it copied to usb drive and the original problem remains the same even now. The data from OS installer CD? It could simply have let me skip that specific driver installation. now what was the problem for it reading rest of It had done already half the work fine with it default driver. Now why I am writing it all over here cause there wasn't any as such problem if your installer didn't get unexpected flue in middle of things. So that firmware upgrade don''t apply to my drive. I went for LG support but there is no such driver there but a firmware for GP65NB60 (my drive too) but with SVG code NB60 instead of NB70 of mine.

Now the problem is usb aint that safe from corruption as can be saidĪbout genuine installer CD.

what happened to it halfway? Then I have to copy it to usb drive from another machine then installed it from it. Your installer asked for its driver CD & strictly refused to progress without it. But suddenly half way between installation OS installation got started as usual from my original Windows 7 installation disk. I came home and connected the LG writer through USB port. What happened I lost that driver CD of LG in the huss fuss at the seller shop itself. I brought a Acer ultra slim laptop with external LG dvd writer to load OS if required from its CD cause it came with linux.
