Which USB standard is often referred to as 'SuperSpeed'?

The USB standard referred to as 'SuperSpeed' is USB 3.0. This designation comes from its significant performance improvements over previous versions, particularly in data transfer rates. USB 3.0 can achieve speeds of up to 5 Gbps, which is substantially faster than what USB 2.0 offers, making it well-suited for transferring large files and data-intensive applications.

Additionally, USB 3.0 introduced a new connector design that is compatible with earlier versions while providing enhanced data handling capabilities. The term 'SuperSpeed' highlights these advancements in the standard, making it clear that it provides superior performance compared to the older USB standards, such as USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. USB 3.1 and subsequent iterations build upon USB 3.0, but the original 'SuperSpeed' label specifically applies to USB 3.0.
