A method and apparatus for improving the performance of Universal Serial Bus mass storage devices is provided wherein a local extender located adjacent to a host computer is used in combination with a remote extender located adjacent to a peripheral device. The local extender and remote extender units jointly implement a protocol that enables bulk data to be transferred efficiently between said units even when the transmission delay between the units exceeds 1 microsecond. No alterations to said host computer or said USB mass storage device are required to achieve the improved performance. An improved method for connecting USB mass storage devices to a host controller is provided.
Cette invention concerne un procédé et un appareil servant à améliorer les performances de mémoires de masse à bus sériel universel, dans lesquelles une unité d'extension locale placée adjacente à un ordinateur hôte est utilisée en association avec une unité d'extension distante placée adjacente à un dispositif périphérique. L'unité d'extension locale et l'unité d'extension distante appliquent conjointement un protocole qui permet de transférer efficacement des données en bloc entre ces unités, même lorsque le retard de transmission entre les unités dépasse 1 microseconde. Aucune modification de l'ordinateur hôte ou de la mémoire de masse USB n'est requise pour obtenir de telles performances améliorées. Un procédé amélioré servant à connecter des mémoires de masse USB à un contrôleur hôte est également décrit.
