Question

How long will it take to transfer a file size of 1GB on a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 drive

Answer 1

Explanation:

6-7seconds, hope it helps

Answer 2

Given:

USB 2.0 and USB 3.0

File size = 1 GB (Gigabytes)

To find:

We need to find the time taken to transfer the file on a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0

Solution:

Given that, file size = 1 GB.

We know that 1 GB (Gigabytes) = 1024 MB (Megabytes).

1. In USB 2.0:

The speed of USB 2.0 is 60 MB/s (Megabytes/second).

To find the speed for 1024 MB, divide 1024 with 60.

$\Rightarrow \frac{1024}{60}$

$\Rightarrow 17.0666$

$\Rightarrow \approx 17$

So, to transfer 1 GB of data, USB 2.0 will take 17 seconds approximately.

2. In USB 3.0:

The speed of USB 2.0 is 625 MB/s (Megabytes/second).

To find the speed for 1024 MB, divide 1024 with 625.

$\Rightarrow \frac{1024}{625}$

$\Rightarrow 1.6384$

$\Rightarrow \approx 2$

So, to transfer 1 GB of data, USB 3.0 will take 2 seconds approximately.

Hence, the speed of USB 3.0 is greater than USB 2.0.
