Hi I have been looking around at the small dongles that plug into a USB port to enable my PC to use Bluetooth. I can't get the pictures from my wife's phone onto my PC without Bluetooth. I figure, if I am going to get one, why not try and find one that can take advantage of one of the several USB 3.0 ports I am not using? I may as well get the fastest transfer rates I can get.

However, some of these sellers might be misleading. A lot simply say USB 2.0 and have 3mpb/s listed as the transfer rate. The misleading sellers let the buyer draw the conclusion that USB 3.0 and Bluetooth v3.0 (version) are one in the same. But when these latter sellers reveal the specs, I see that their product still only offers a 3mbp/s transfer rate -- the same as products that only require USB 2.0 for best results.

For these Bluetooth dongles, is there not one that has Superspeed transfer through USB 3.0?

Thanks.

AJP

Thanks for your reply. That helps in making a purchase. Some sellers imply that their device is for a USB 3.0 port, when its Bluetooth standard is actually 3.0. Maybe hoping people think they are getting 5Gbp/s transfer speed? Idk, but thanks again.
