What is the data rate of SuperSpeed USB 3.0?

  1. 480 Mbps

  2. 10 Gbps

  3. 5 Gbps

  4. 12 Mbit/s

The correct answer is: 5 Gbps

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 has a data rate of 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than the previous USB 2.0 standard (480 Mbps). While option B offers a higher data rate of 10 Gbps, this is the data rate for USB 3.1, not USB 3.0. Option D represents the data rate for USB 1.1, which is significantly slower than USB 3.0. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and correct answer.
