Can anyone help explain why USB and SATA specs state one transfer speed and yet we never see these speeds achieved. Ive done my googling and i cant even find a standard speed mentioned... i see 3Gbit and 300MB which are the same using 1000 bit to Mbit but when talking wireless speed or USB they mean 8 bits to a byte, ex. USB 480Mbit = 60MB. Now weve all seen harddrives connected externally to a USB and they max out at 35MB ish... where is the other 25... we know the drive can do it. And maybe SSDs cant do 300 MB yet but for sure the 32MB of RAM they are using for burst can achieve this... same question, where is the rest.
Thanks for the clarification.
