Utilizing a UASP-enabled host, the CR-H116 delivers up to 70% faster read speeds and 40% faster write speeds when compared to a typical USB 3.0 connection. The standard USB 3.0 format is limited by the original USB BOT (Bulk Only Transfer) specification, which is designed for USB 2.0. With UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), it optimizes data transfers by allowing multiple simultaneous commands, while BOT only handles one command at a time. UASP simply reduces wait times, maximizes bandwidth utilization, and enables faster efficient transfers.
