Explaining USB 3.1

Ғылым және технология

An explanation of USB 3.1, including the speed and power specification, the new Type-C connector, installation of a PCIe x4 USB 3.1 card, and a comparative speed test against USB 3.0 and 2.0. This video is a sequel to my surprising popular “Explaining USB 3.0”: • Explaining USB 3.0

    USB3.1 is a rev of USB3.0. Gen 2 is 10Gbs, Gen 1 is 5Gbs, USB3.0 no longer exists. USB3.1 applied to the Standard A, Standard B, and microB, Type C came later. USB3.1 did not increase power. USB Power Delivery is what provides the higher current. Rev 1 and 2 weren't accepted by the market. Rev 3, which was based on the USB Type C connector, has been accepted. USB Type C is the latest USB connector. Both ends are the same (no A & B side) and there is no top and bottom on the plug. USB Type C also allowed alternate protocols, and has been adopted by DisplayPort, rev 1.4, Thunderbolt, Rev 3, and HDMI is in the works. The design goal was for USB Type C to be the universal cable. The full feature Type C has 4 high speed channels, that supports 2 USB3.1, each requiring a TX and RX, or all 4 channels of DisplayPort. Those high speed pairs are specified for 20Gbs, which is why Thunderbolt 3 can operate at 40GBs, or a future USB 3.1, Gen 3.

    Excellent Chris as always! You answered every question I could have had. It was great to see the test done in a real world environment. What the consumer wants to know is "Will this work for me?" and "what kind of results can I expect?" You answered both questions with great skill and knowledge! My only question would be if you were using typical hard drives instead of solid state would the transfer be slower? I am stuck for now in the world of 2.0 just because I don't have any hardware that requires anything better yet. I do use external hard drives but I am not moving large data to them at this point, however this would be a perfect arrangement to do a backup on with the use of an adapter cable. Thanks again, you got me thinking which is a good thing. So are you retired from teaching yet? I know you were going in this direction, I didn't know if you are full time now on your other goals?

I only have a usb 2.0 wire connected to my motherboard but my usb 3.0 and 3.1 ports seem to work okay. But would they work better if I had a 20pin usb 3.0 wire plugged into my board header instead of the 2.0? It has me a little confused.

    I'm just wondering that with a small form factor that the USB-C has, how much thermal issues are with delivering 100W at 5A and 20V. Even 2A micro usb connectors sometimes have problems at 2A, so I imagine some problems arising at 5A. Also, another question, since the USB 3.1 has to be downwards compatible, how does it switch to the 20V mode? I'm assuming it stays in the 5V mode unless it recognizes a specific 3.1 device and knows it can switch to 20V. So if I simply want to power something off the 3.1 port with 20V I can not do that with just a cable - I need to do the software handshake to get it into the 20V mode. Is the USB-C also compatible with this 5V mode or is it already 20V by default?

    Very intereting thoughts indeed. On the voltage, I understand it, the USB-C spec includes a standard called USB PD (power delivery), which defaults to 5V unless two USB PD compatible devices are connected, at which point higher voltages can be used (eg to charge a device). There is a very interesting, related article on power and the USB-C (PD) standard here: www.androidauthority.com/htc-10-lg-g5-breach-usb-type-c-spec-688558/

It came with two USB 3.1 slots in the back, but I don't have any devices that can use them, yet. I think I'm most excited that finally we have a mini-USB that is reversable!

    +Zepher Tensho There are a few pretty decent quality drive enclosures that use it for 2.5" SATA drives and there's a couple for M.2 that I've seen too. The M.2 one will make far better use of the connection, assuming it's the 10Gbit compliant connector of course. SATA is kind of wasted on modern SSD's, they easily saturate the bandwidth.

    Chris, another very clear presentation of USB options. In the future, you might expand your USB presentations by adding a discussion of the "frame" improvements that occurred between USB 3.0 and USB 3.1, which were very similar to the "frame" improvements that occurred between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0. USB 3.1 adopted what is known as the 128b/132b "jumbo frame", which transmits a block of 16 bytes with the addition of 4 more control bits: 16 bytes @ 8 bits = 128 + 4 = 132 binary digits per frame. Similarly, PCIe 3.0 adopted the 128b/130b "jumbo frame", which transmits a block of 16 bytes with the addition of 2 more control bits: 16 bytes @ 8 bits = 128 + 2 = 130 binary digits per frame. The prior PCIe 2.0 and USB 3.0 standards still retained the 8b/10b "legacy frame": 1 byte @ 8 bits + 1 start bit + 1 stop bit = 10 bits per byte. These comparisons can be important, particularly if USB 3.1 hardware is not controlled with a software driver that supports the new 128b/132b "jumbo frame". I believe the 128b/132b "jumbo frame" is defined as a USB 3.1 "option" i.e. it's not a mandatory feature of the USB 3.1 specification. Given the obvious bandwidth increase that results from increasing the clock from 6G to 10G, it's quite strange that SSD manufacturers have not at least adopted PCIe 3.0's 8G clock and 128b/130b "jumbo frame". This one change would increase MAX HEADROOM from 600 MB/second (6G/10) to 984.6 MB/second (8G/8.125). And, when PCIe 4.0 becomes standard, then MAX HEADROOM increases again to 1,969.2 MB/second (16G/8.125). Instead, storage vendors are steering consumers to the M.2 form factor and the NVMe protocol. Hope this helps.

    I think you have proved the point that it is not really worth spending the money on 3.1 at the moment. Sure if buying a new motherboard then getting 3.1 on is fine, but not really worth getting a 3.1 card.

    SATA 3 is 6Gb/s. That translates to theoretical 768 MB/s. I wonder if Your adapter is the bottleneck for the SSD. Maybe do a video on comparing different USB 3.0/3.1 disk adapters? Did some testing myself a while ago and the difference between adapters can be up to 50-100MB/s. Great video as always :)

    To add to the confusion: USB 3.0 is also known as (rebranded) 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 is also known as 3.1 Gen 2 USB C also comes in 2.0 and 3.0/3.1Gen1 flavors as well.

    Hi Chris, Your presentations are awesome. I have an older Linux system (circa 2010 with DDR2 memory). I have some external backup 7200 rpm spinner disk drives (WDigital) that are marked as Sata 6. Is adding the PCIE card for USB3 worthwhile if installing and switching to use the backups via that USB3.x if the drives are 7200 spinners? I would not ask that question if my backup drives were SSD's. I am of the opinion, the 7200 spinners are the items limiting backup and recovery transfer speed.

    It is certainly worth upgrading to access any HDD or SSD over USB 3.x rather than 2.0 if you are going to be backing up any quantity of data, as it should be 5 to 7 times faster. It will not be your drives limiting transfer speeds. So if you are regularly moving, say, 10GB or more, worth doing.

Thanks for clarifying all my confusions. Cheers :)

My first, non-specialized computer ran CPM, then later DOS, much later... then the OS changed so quickly... I remember when 8Kb was a large memory card, & 16 Kb the Max of the system... then later, with a S/W upgrade, 32Kb... now, I just bought some 64Gb USB 3 drives for almost nothing... home times change... in only 45 years...
