What does USB stand for in data transfer?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a standard interface for data communication and power delivery between devices and peripherals.

Why convert USB data rates to bits per second?

Converting USB rates to bits per second helps compare USB speeds with other data transfer rates using a standardized fundamental unit.

Does the conversion reflect actual USB transfer speeds?

The conversion shows nominal link-layer speeds, but actual throughput can be influenced by hardware, protocol overhead, and environmental factors.
