SuperSpeed Compliance Device

The SuperSpeed Compliance Device is the recommended USB 3.0 peripheral used for testing other USB hosts and peripherals for compatibility with the USB 3.0 specifications. It is used by the USB-IF for USB 3.0 compliance testing. The Super Speed Compliance Device is a self-powered device that requires the Compliance firmware (available from the USB-IF) be loaded onto it. During firmware update, connect a SATA drive to the hardware and follow instructions included with the firmware. After the firmware is loaded, the SS Compliance Device does not need to have a hard disk attached. To re-load original MSD firmware, attach the SATA drive again and install desired firmware. http://www.usb.org/developers/ssusb/ssusbtools/
