The new USB 3.0 standard transfers data at up to 5 gigabits per second (SuperSpeed). This requires additional contacts on the plugs. This has been incorporated into the type A plug in a way that retains its original shape. This means that both USB 2.0 and 1.1 compatible devices can also be operated on USB 3.0 ports alongside USB 3.0 devices on older computers. None of the other plug types are compatible with one another.
