Usb 2.0 reaches a peak transfer rate of 480mbit/s which equals 60mbyte/s. You will not get that as a sustained rate though.

Usb 1.1 reached a speed of 12Mbps, 40 times less than USB 2.0 which can go up to 480Mbps, touted to be 10 times less than USB 3.0

The standard USB transfer data at a rate of less than 480Mbps whereas the USB 2.0 transfer data at 480Mbps which is more than serial and parallel transfer rate.

For the older usb version the transfer rate was 12Mbits per second. But now the most common and faster usb version 2.0 is 480Mbits per second. You wont really find a usb 1.1 though unless you're dealing with older computers.
