The bulk transfer rate is the rate of transferring useful bytes in the data blocks. The disk. read/write head must go over all bytes on a track as the disk rotates, including the bytes. in the interblock gaps, which store control information but not real data.
USB Full speed has a speed of 12 MBit/second = 1,5 MByte/s. But within these 12 MBit also a lot of extra data is transmitted which is not payload, like , endpoint address, CRC5, CRC16, Acknowledge, SOF + EOF packets, etc.. Additionally the bus manager reserves 10% of a frame for Control Transfers.
USB devices have two transfer mode types: bulk is used for mass storage devices like an external USB hard drive, and isochronous is used for real-time devices like a USB webcam or capture card.
Bulk Transfers. Bulk Transfers are used for data which are not of the type Control, Interrupt, or Isochronous. Reliable exchange of data is ensured at the hardware level using error detection. Data are transferred in the same manner as in Interrupt Transfers, but have no defined polling rate.
Maximum packet size of a bulk endpoint depends on the bus speed of the device. For full speed, high speed, and SuperSpeed; the maximum packet sizes are 64, 512, and 1024 bytes respectively.
USB has four transfer types depending on the data. They are called Control, Bulk, Interrupt, and Isochronous types.
