UAS is a computer protocol used to move data to and from USB storage devices. Systems that support UAS will see better results due to the capabilities listed below. Without UAS, USB 3.0 R/W speeds will still reach 190/160.
UAS Capabilities
- Maximizes bus utilization through the use of streams in USB 3.1.
- Provides a modest increase in bus utilization in USB 2.0
- Provides a mechanism for the device to store several commands and optimize the use of its media
- Complies with current command and transport standards
- Eliminates much of the round trip time between command phases - Hidden behind queuing
- Switches the storage driver to a queuing model
