I am trying to design a system that will transfer data between two storage devices on a PCB, preferably using USB 3.1 as speed is a major concern in this design. However, my understanding is that I would need something to serve as a host controller to actually transfer the data between the storage medium. In my research I've been unable to find any microcontroller that has USB 3.1 capabilities. Is there any other way I can transfer the data at high speeds, or a method of using a microcontroller with a separate USB host controller without any significant loss of speed?

2\$\begingroup\$ No, you will need a host controller supporting at least two devices. \$\endgroup\$– Eugene Sh.Feb 19, 2019 at 15:05

2\$\begingroup\$ What sort of specs would the host controller need in order to reach maximum speed? Can I do it with a microcontroller, or would I need something beefier? \$\endgroup\$– DublekFeb 19, 2019 at 15:40

\$\begingroup\$ What kind of "storage devices on a PCB" do you have? Why do you believe that USB 3.1 should be the interface? \$\endgroup\$– Ale..chenskiFeb 19, 2019 at 17:04
