Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday said it has added USB 3.0 ports to its 
latest laptops ..

When the technology matures, USB 3.0 technology will provide the 
bandwidth to transfer data close to 10 times quicker than USB 2.0, 
standards group USB Implementers Forum said on Wednesday.

Around 1GB of data could be moved from a USB 3.0 flash drive to a host 
device in 3.3 seconds, compared to 33 seconds for USB 2.0, USB-IF 
representatives said.

The USB-IF on Wednesday also said it had certified USB 3.0 for HP's Envy 
15 and Fujitsu's FMV-Biblo/G70 laptops. The standards group also 
certified USB 3.0 for motherboards from Asus and Giga-byte Technology.
