Make sure the adapter features a reliable chipset, as that will ensure fast and efficient data flow between the microprocessor and the external devices connected to the adapter. U0 is for activating the link, U1 for link idle-fast exit, U2 for link idle-slower exit, and U3 for link suspend. Power management is done by using four different states in link power management. USB 3.0 is reducing power requirements by eliminating the polling and broadcasting nature of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 has also surpassed the broadcast nature of USB 2.0. When both ends of links, the peripheral and host, are ready, the data is shared. Then the host contacts that specific peripheral to check if data is ready to share or not. In SuperSpeed the host waits until a higher-level application tells it that a peripheral has data to share. In USB 3.0 polling is replaced by asynchronous notification. The host polls continuously to all connected peripheral devices that have data to transfer and for this, all devices must keep “on” at all times.
USB 3.0 has dual-simplex four-wire signaling which means bi-directional data flows. USB 2.0 has half-duplex two-wire signaling which means unidirectional data flow with negotiated directional bus transitions. Therefore, USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. It supports almost 5 Gbit/s whereas a high-speed USB 2.0 supports only 480 Mbit/s. In USB 3.0, a new transfer type is introduced called SuperSpeed or SS. The former can reach up to 4.8Gbps, whereas the latter is limited to 480Mbps, so make sure you get a USB 3.0 adapter if you want to achieve the maximum speed. USB 3.0 is considerably faster than USB 2.0.
