Question: 1 / 690

Which interface provides the highest data transfer speeds for peripherals?

USB 1.1

USB 2.0

Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt offers the highest data transfer speeds for peripherals compared to the other interfaces listed. The Thunderbolt standard has evolved through several versions, with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 Gbps, significantly surpassing the capabilities of USB and FireWire interfaces.

For context, USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 provide maximum speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 480 Mbps, respectively, which are much lower than Thunderbolt. FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, has maximum speeds of either 400 Mbps (FireWire 400) or 800 Mbps (FireWire 800), still not reaching anywhere near the speeds offered by Thunderbolt. Therefore, when it comes to connecting high-speed peripherals, Thunderbolt stands out as the best option among these interfaces.
