Which USB version is known for a transfer rate of 10 Gbps?

The correct answer is USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is known for its impressive transfer rate of 10 Gbps. This version of USB enhances the capabilities introduced in the earlier versions, providing a significant boost in data transfer speeds. USB 3.1 Gen 2 was designed to meet the growing demand for higher performance in data transmission, particularly for applications that require fast file transfers, such as video editing or large data backups.

USB 3.0, while a significant improvement over USB 2.0 with a maximum speed of 5 Gbps, does not reach the speeds of USB 3.1 Gen 2. USB 2.0 itself has much slower transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, making it unsuitable for high-speed data applications compared to USB 3.1 Gen 2. USB 4.0, although it supports even higher transfer rates (up to 40 Gbps), is not the version specifically known for the 10 Gbps transfer rate, which is why USB 3.1 Gen 2 is the correct answer.
