Usb 3.1? give it a few years and we'll have USB 95, 98, 2000 and XP

I bet well still manage to put this in the wrong way.

Yes! i never have to waste about 30 secs of my life again! Old USB: *plugs it in* -doesnt fit *turns it around* *plugs it in* -doesnt fit. *filled with disbelief* *trys it again* -doesnt fit *gets angry* *turns it around again* *plugs it in* FITS!!!!!!! WHAT!? every FUCKING Time!

Type C is going to be the connector where I go to put it in, it doesn't go in and I get really annoyed because I know it should go in both ways.

Get two laptops with the USB Power delivery v2 USB 3.1 ports and 2:18 *laptop charging* cables, hook the other laptop to charge from the other, while it charges the one it is charging from. New troll science infinite energy idea.

**makes sex joke while wearing minecraft shirt**

*_gasp!_* No sponsor at the end? I don't know how to feel about this...

I wouldn't say "It's finally here" forreal until it's common on motherboards (versus having to dig to find a mobo with it) and there's more than 1 port on a motherboard. ATM it feels the same as when motherboards started coming with Thunderbolt - only like 1 at a time, rare, then they disappeared.

So glad to see the workers at LMG are starting to tech things seriously again.

Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support ONLY USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps. Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support BOTH USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps and USB 3.1 at 10 Gbps. Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support ALL USB 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 (Thunderbolt 3.0 at 40 Gbps) When you buy a new computer, you make sure to look for the right USB-C ports speed you want for your needs. USB-C is backward compatible to old USB 2.0 & 1.0.

Wow, thanks Nick!

I could only see "80Ti" on the graphics card and I totally wanted that to be the 980Ti lol...

End of 2019 still no fully USB C sticks in sight. Tell a lie, there are only like 4, literately 4

20 amps on such a small connector... this shit will catch fire, someday.

No... I don't know what you mean

When you're so early it's 360p.

10,000 insertions sounds like a good night.

It is a shit storm of technology. USB 3.2 is next with the type D connector for your bum hole.

MY TARDIS! I was wondering where that went. can I have that back please? thanks linus!

1:48 - 1:58 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LINUS??? :P

well now I have to throw away all my USB 3.0 things.

7:41 nice reverse finger flipoff

More than once I have been editing videos, wondering why my external RAID cabinet was so slow. Only to discover that I had not plugged the USB 3.0-A connector all the way in. grrrr why oh why can't it give me a warning. :)

I know this video is really old but let me just point out another draw back to TB is that it's PCI-E which is a HUGE security risk. You can literally plug in a malicious piece of hardware and do a memory dump because direct system bus access. Among other things. People have found ways to inject rootkits via TB because again...direct system bus access. It basically is the same problem firewire had all those years ago.

Awesome review, Linus!

This is probably the first time I've seen a Linus video that didn't have a sponsor to it. Whoa..feels...weird.

Thanks for the sponsor spot Nick!

One thing that I think will be confusing is the power thing. I looked it up a little while ago, and the 100W happens at 20V. I think it has a few different voltages that it operates on in order to deliver 100W. I still find it hard to believe that a connector that small can deliver 5A at 20V though. Unless they are using many pins for power, I don't think that 5A can pass through that thing without melting it.

bro please Explain usb 3.2

ye, thanks Nick

USB-C speeds vary depending on the Mac model you choose: Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support ONLY USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps. Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support BOTH USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps and USB 3.1 at 10 Gbps. Some computers, which have USB-C ports, support ALL USB 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 (Thunderbolt 3.0 at 40 Gbps) When you buy a new computer, you make sure to look for the right USB-C ports speed you want for your needs. USB-C is backward compatible to old USB 2.0 & 1.0.

6:31 The dribble/spit

USB Type C looks like the same connector as Lightning, but reversed with the pins in the connector rather than the port.

Well, Type C is now a standard!

I have a Startech usb 3.1 & type C PCIE card & I've watched a bunch of these videos & you were the 1st person to explain that the backwards compatable 3.1 (A?) connector does not have the 10GBS speed that the type C connector does. Thanks for making that clear.

No sponsor spot? Best LTT vid ever.

if it was going to be 10 times faster again I'm sure they would have called it USB4. - Linus 2015

n im still storing and transfering data with a diskette

The algorithm recommended this! Such a long way from 7 years ago Linus! Congrats!!

It's kind of crazy that the Type-C connector is nearly ten years old now.

I don't know if it is just me, but I almost never have issues to get the USB plug in the right way. And I would certainly not invest that much effort or time to make a new standard.

No sponsors ..!?!? ... Okay.

I usually close the tab when it comes to the sponsor segment, but today's lack of sponsor really made me laughed and brighten my niight. Thanks Nick!

Wow. No sponsor spot on a video like this. This has to be one of your best videos so far..

The time when usb naming was still normal not like today when usb and intel are playing game who can make worst name possible

"Theoretically rated for more insertions"

Great video! Love the quick, to the point, detailed analysis!

Bro... I'm nick! I'm actually trying to formulate and begin work on a PC build, so this is helping. I glad to support anything that's helping me learn lol. Thank you!

i have never seen even usb3 device in irl :D Planning to buy 128gb usb3 stick tho

yes that's amazing an all but the wheel on my office chair will still chew it up

Am i the only one here that always waiting for the advertisement? Lol. Linus has a great way to promote things

"If you know what I mean" No I don't

Welcome to the pre 301+ club.

Non C usb plugs are pretty easy to get right first time. with horizontal ports hold the cable so that the usb logo (the tree with the circle, triangle and square) is facing upwards. with vertical ports twist the cable so the logo aligns with the top of the motherboard. not having to look for the logo is an advantage - but you don't have to make plugging in earlier USB cables any more painful than it has to be.

I would LOVE to do what you do as far as testing new parts and making videos about it. This is something that I have been wanting to do for a little while

I'm sorry, but who at Noctua thought that beige/brown would be an appealing color scheme for a fan?

Way to go Nick! Linus's cat will now starve.

It's weird finding a video with most comments being 5 years old

USB MicroB was designed to be more fragile on purpose. The theory was that if there was a bend or break, the failure point would be the cable rather than the device. My personal experience has been that the device fails under the same amount of stress and use but you now have to replace 3 cables in the meantime.

Completely confused, thought I was being spoken to directly by linus. I blushed #nerdgasm

Didn't Thunderbolt also have an issue with security resulting in it being passed over by large businesses and government bodies?

Who remembers the ADC connectors power macs? It carried USB, power and display through one cable

This is the reason why I'm waiting until December to upgrade my rig. By December of this year, USB 3.1 would have matured, PCI-Express 4 would have just come out and the SATA Express also.

Linus now comes in a bright red skin color option! Well, at least this is what he look on my SAMOLED screen.

2019, USB 4.0, and its naming scheme is a mess now...

Aww. Thanks! I didn't know I was sponsoring, but hey that's cool.

Type-C is also Thunderbolt, it is not a competitor it is a new slandered connector for all types of uses, including USB 3.1 and it will replace the RJ45 connector as well so all Ethernet cable will become Type-C

Nick Lite: Thats offensive man!

I think it would be much more pleasurable to watch Linus's videos on a 1080p 60FPS settings compared to a higher res like 4k. Please like if you agree so Linus notices. -------------- Regards :)

So, here we are more than a year since Linus predicted that USB 3.1 Type C was going to take over the world. Well, the only USB device I have that uses it is my Nexus 6P phone which I purchased this week. I had to buy a bunch of Type-C to Type-A adapters because none of my charging devices supports a Type-C connector. I asked around the office and discovered that I am the only person, in an office with 30 people, who has a Type-C compatible device. When I bought the phone, Type-C was described as, 'backward compatible' with other USB types. Only if you have adapters at both ends of your cable! (something they didn't mention). I've purchased at least 10 USB devices this year. All but one uses cables with either Type-A or micro plugs. I would say adoption of the USB 3.1 Type-C is taking longer than in took for people to migrate off of Windows XP.

i feel like a table with the read and write data would have been more pleasing on the eyes to compare results

I really do use a USB 1.1 hub :P

Welcome to another addition of "Wtf KZfaq recommendations algorithm"

And finally it's almost everywhere! After 5 Years!!

I love this channel because of the practical example. It tells us what really happen, in a clear way to everyone understands, thanks!

Apple invented USB-C. Look it up.

someone reply to me I feel lonely...

7:21 that sponser speech omg hahahahaha!!!!

Something else about USB-C he didn't mention is the curved front that makes it slide in much easier with no edges to catch.

Linus when are we going to get another scrap yard wars series

anyone here in 2022 lol

And now Thunderbolt 3 is the same shape as type c, is USB 3.1 compatible and can use a cheap passive cable to do a lot more. For most people, it won't matter too much which port their device has, but if all laptops went Thunderbolt 3 the world would be a better place

I love how usb c went out 7 years ago, and we still sturgle with implementing it on everything (aka apple and laptops), also, now usb c can transfer more that a full 16x pcie 4 slot, 10 gigabyte per seconds is cute

So much squeaky voice.

4:10 whats up with the hate for micro usb 3?

What no one mentions is that the Type C connector standard actually supports heaphones with mic over the same connector.

Only problem with these: The small tab thing that's in Micro USB ports will then be on the mobo of the device the cable is connecting to, making the breaking of the tab in the mobo be way more expensive than just buying a new cable.

Type C is crap. Really only 1 advantage. You can put it in any way. Standard (real) USB can do anything it can, and it's speed will continue to progress. Type C is only good on a phone, but is crap on the other end. A ton of adapters are a pain. And what's wrong with the Samsung USB 3.1 thing? It is completely backwards compatible, and not that bad if you ask me.

5:28 LinusTechTips, Please place the numbers side by side when talking bout them. Because when you place them in series as a slide show, you are requiring me as a viewer to have some sort of photographic memory. I do not have such a thing.

As a Note 4 owner, I'm pretending the USB 3.0 micro-b connector never existed in the first place. Strange connector with the crimp in the middle as if it'd been made wrong.

I'm trying to imagine you doing your first research report in class; you must have blown away your teacher!

What would be cool on laptops would be a USB type C charger, and the charger base also carried powerline internet signals, so you can go to someone's house or a remote part of your property and get internet without messing with wifi signal or password, and without extra cables

someone should tell Linus his editors don't actually annotate all those silly places he says we can click to learn more

Spring/summer of 2014 - people start talking about USB 3.1 and type C connector Summer of 2015 - USB 3.1 type C is finally out, and available for everyone June 2016 - I'm still sitting here with all of my devices working under USB 2.0 (except my pendrive which "supposedly" has a USB 3.0 connector but it's so shitty that it has write speed of 4 MB/s, making transfering literally anything bigger than a photo or a son a big pain in the ass)

2:01 - fastest one-eye blink in history of KZfaq.

Thing I'm most excited about is external video cards over usb c. Have a regular low power laptop in the field and then plug it into a usb-c connected pci-e 980ti and get a full gaming rig that can be hooked to multiple monitors and external raided hard drives!

Put the font size down a bit and you don't have to reach for the scroll wheel on your Teleprompt each four seconds

Yotsuba＆ is a Japanese comic that is very interesting 1:40 this is a character who appears in this comic. Let's read it!

FYI Lightning can handle thunderbolt speeds, just that there aren't any such cables out yet. It can dynamically detect what pins it needs to use and has a lot of other 'smart' features compared to other cables ( like water detection making it cleaner to implement a waterproof phone ). That SAID, I seriously hope apple is going to put USB type-C in their next batch of devices, which they wont...

the insertion counter will never beat the amount of linus voicecracks in this video
