What is the throughput of a USB Express Card?

480 Mbps
1056 Mbps
5000 Mbps
10 Gbps

The correct answer is: 480 Mbps

The throughput of a USB Express Card is correctly identified as 480 Mbps, which is the maximum data transfer rate for USB 2.0. USB Express Cards are typically designed to support USB connections and the USB 2.0 standard operates at this throughput. It's important to note that while USB 3.0 and later standards provide significantly higher transfer rates—such as 5 Gbps for USB 3.0 and 10 Gbps for USB 3.1—Express Cards that facilitate USB 2.0 connections are limited to 480 Mbps. Additionally, other options provided reflect the higher speeds available in newer USB standards, which would not apply to the context of USB Express Cards functioning under the USB 2.0 specification.
