Castle is pleased to announce that an upgrade to USB2 is now available for all IYONIX pc users.
USB2 offers an underlying bit transfer rate of 480 Megabits per second (USB1 runs at 1.2 or 12.0 Megabits per second). Overheads and other limits in the system (and in the attached USB peripheral) mean that the throughput achieved for a given USB device will not usually be as high as the full 480 Megabits per second specification. Typical improvements in speed for USB2 devices (memory devices, scanners etc) attached to an upgraded IYONIX pc will be variable depending on a number of factors.
The USB2 upgrade is a software upgrade that runs on existing USB cards as fitted to all IYONIX pcs. The upgrade can be ordered on line for just 29.95 GBP (delivery of the upgrade is supplied from our secure server and therefore an internet connection is required). Price includes VAT.
All new IYONIX pcs ordered on or after 1st February 2005 will be shipped with a full implementation of USB2.
