    [News] VIA Announces First USB 3.1 to SATA Single-chip Bridge with USB-IF Certificati

    https://www.techpowerup.com/226489/v...-certification

    VIA Labs, Inc., a leading supplier of SuperSpeed USB and Power Delivery Controllers, today announced that the VIA Labs VL716 USB 3.1 to SATA III Bridge Controller with native USB Type-C support has achieved SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps certification from the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). Optimized for the latest USB Type-C external storage applications such as USB Type-C optical drives, SSD's, and HDD's, the VL716 single-chip USB 3.1 Gen 2 to SATA III Bridge Controller offers blazing data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and is fully backwards compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB High-Speed, and USB Full-Speed modes. With native USB Type-C support built-in, the VL716 offers advanced features such as USB-C connector orientation detection and USB Mux to enable the reversibility feature without additional components or cost.

    "Integrating SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps and USB Type-C support minimizes the need for multiple components and reduces cost for developers," said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President and COO. "Companies like VIA Labs are growing the USB ecosystem by developing compliant solutions and submitting products for USB-IF compliance testing."

    So 10 Gbps is 1.25 GB/sec yet SSDs saturate the SATA 3 at slightly less than 1/2 that speed.

    So 1,250 MB/s or 560 MB/s which is it????

    This sounds like Powerline marketing

    isnt the usb 3.1 still not duplexed. you also have the 5gbs less than the sata and 10gbs is way too much, but it could be daisy chained with this guy at the end so it would bring the chains bandwidth down to 5gbs and you dont want that.

    Being that these two interfaces are in line with each other, you will of course receive (slightly less than) the lower performing of the two. That is to say, you're going to be limited to something around (but never exceeding) 6 Gbps.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    It's never gonna be as good as native sata, but it should be good enough...

    10gbit's is quite a bit...
    Usb v3.1 g2 is coming out 2017'ish you think?

    Honestly I still don't have a single usb 3.0 device yet lol.
    Usb 3.1g2 usb stick, 200 megs per sec sustained, oops, it's 10x that, 2000 megs per sec, sounds good to me...
    No way a usb stick keep that rate up, just peaks but..., even the ssd's won't really need it..., they are peaking out at those rates these days though, the nvme's.

    I don't know if my post is even readable lol, but anyways, looks good , now lets get rid of usb 2.0 ports already...
