Components that achieve certification qualify to use the SuperSpeed USB logo, designed to provide consumers with a way to evaluate a product’s quality. Additionally, certified products are added to an Integrators List of compliant SuperSpeed USB devices, which is available to manufacturers at www.usb.org/developers/compliance. The Integrators List enables manufacturers to quickly check for USB 3.0 components that have met the USB-IF Certification and Compliance Program criteria.
The VL700 provides a way for users to experience the benefits of USB 3.0 data transmission on their SATA, SSD and ODD devices, said David Hsu, Associate Vice President, VIA Labs, Inc. Certification from the USB-IF is important for consumers as it guarantees this experience is seamless and trouble-free.
As one of the industry’s foremost suppliers of USB 3.0 components, VIA Labs today presented at the Digitimes Tech Forum (DTF), a gathering of leading component manufacturers focused on exploring the opportunities created by new high speed transmission technologies including SuperSpeed USB.
