USB is totally awesome, and USB 3.0+ is even more awesome.

With real-world data transfer rates of 400MB/s or more, copying files to external USB sticks and drives has never been more fun.

Only one problem, and I've noticed this A LOT: People are using USB3, but they're sitting there putting up with relatively slow copy speeds from, say, a USB3 key.

It's often rather difficult to achieve copy speeds in excess of a measley 40MB/s...

What gives?

Well, naturally, you need to have a faster USB 3 gizmo to plug in! Time to ditch your old, slower USB 2 key or external hard drive...

It turns out that - as with the initial launch of USB 3.0 back in 2008 - the newer flavors of USB still have some wrinkles. Fortunately, it's usually quite simple to iron them out and reach max performance. You just need to pick the best USB 3 port on your puter.

I start with a brief history of USB, going all the way back to the release of USB 1.x in 1996.

NOTE: I neglected to mention laptops in the video. Usually, all the USB3 ports in most laptops are connected to the chipset - usually. So, if you don't get max USB speeds on your lappy, pretty much your only option is to check for updated USB/chipset drivers from the manufacturer.
