...hence you'll not actually get 480 Mb/s. You may get something close, coz the traffic tends to be largely in one direction.
PS: Your USB mouse will NOT get any faster, coz it is a low speed device. It gets polled about once every millisecond at most (if I remember my USB spec correctly)
The reason you don't see many Hard drives and such like using USB is coz the maufacturers buggered up the storage device class specifications, meaning that there are a bundle of different sub-classes, and none of them are much good, so no-one bothered supporting them on the host machines (WinPC's, Mac etc). This means that every manufacturer has to write their own drivers rather than just using one generic one. This is a pain in the neck.:(
