Most USB 2 users report that they can only reach about 30MB/sec between the computer and a USB device, even though the USB 2 specification claims to support 480Mb/sec (or 60MB/sec) transfers. However, in practice the maximum transfer limit will usually be constrained by the USB 2 device itself.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification stipulates five data transfer rates: USB 1.0/Low-Speed: 1.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) USB 1.1/Full-Speed: 12 Mbps. USB 2.0/Hi-Speed: 480 Mbps. USB 3.0/SuperSpeed: 5 Gbps. USB 3.1/SuperSpeed: 10 Gbps.
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.
There are various FAT formats as well, including FAT/FAT16 (max volume size 4GB, max file size 2GB), and FAT32 (max volume size 2TB, max file size 4GB).
USB 2.0 transfers data at a top speed of 480 megabits per second (Mbps), while USB 3.0 can transfer data at up to 5 gigabits per second (Gbps). You can identify USB 3.0 connectors by their blue colour and initials SS, which stand for 'SuperSpeed'.
The USB4 Version 2.0 specification's characteristics include maximum data transfer speeds up to 80Gbps in either direction 40Gbps per lane, and total of four lanes or an optional 120Gbps across three lanes; USB 3.2 data tunnelling to achieve speeds greater than 20Gbps; alignment with the latest DisplayPort and PCIe ...
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.
Control transfer. This type of data transfer is used to configure and control a USB device. The host sends a request to the device and the data transfer follows. Control transfers are also used to check status. Only one control request is handled at any one time.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) transfer types refer to the mode of communication used between the Host and a device's endpoints. The transfer type determines the frequency and length of the transactions used to communicate with the endpoint.
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.
