[access-uk] USB 2 Question

Hi List.Following a question by another lister today, I went to check out what my Device Manager said about my USB ports. I had just connected an external USB Hard Drive, and the first message I received was that the device could run faster on a USB 2 port. This triggered my curiosity.

I'd appreciate it if someone could give a brief résumé of what the following means? I was under the impression that I had eight USB 2 ports, is this what this is telling me?
