It took some time to get here, but devices supporting the USB 3.1 standard are finally coming to market. Besides the obvious new logo and SUPERSPEED+ name change, the USB 3.1 standard doubles the transfer rate of USB 3.0 and the encoding overhead has been greatly reduced by doubling the block size. ASUS is bundling many of their latest board revisions with the USB 3.1 Type-A add-in cards and we got our hands on a discrete USB 3.1 card to try out!

impressive! Now the usually problems of every device under the sun saying they are 3.1 but giving speeds of 1.1 *sigh*

Wonder how hot a flash drive would get using 3.1? I know some of mine I have used in the past got very hot even at usb 2 when transferring a lot of data.

I'm sure they will be warm like the first USB 3.0 devices were, but things will get cooler and faster as the technology improves!
