Note: this is a post which I wrote some time ago on my (off-line) Z88.
Today I have got an extension cable for USB3. A short (0.5m) but very
useful one. My Raptor BlackBird workstation has limited number of USB3
ports available so I have to connect some of fast USB devices to the
port which is on the back of the machine. To make it easier I have
been using an extension cable. But until today I had only the
USB2-compatible cables. So it made no sense to connect faster USB3
devices through this cable. But it was the only way to easily use the
port. Now I have a better cable so I'm going to test if copying will be
actually faster, or not.
