Dual Simplex |
|
Dual direction at the same time |
|
|
|
|
Data transfer between USB device and PC is bidirectional. Data is both sent and received between USB device and PC simultaneously, hence improving the data transfer efficiency. |

|
| Half Duplex transfer |
| |
|
| |
|
Only one direction at a time |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Data transfer between USB device and PC is in only one direction. Data is either being sent or received at any one time – can't be sent and received simultaneously. |

Utmost compatibility with 3x
USB power boost |
|
|
 |
|
The 3x USB Power Boost from GIGABYTE is designed to deliver the utmost compatibility and stability for USB devices, such as external storage devices or optical drives, by supplying sufficient power through a single USB port. This will help free-up USB ports for using multiple USB devices on one motherboard. |
