Hi George

I assume there are usb3 hubs out there or I’ll be continually grovelling to 
plug in or pull out from the back of the tower. LOL

Many thanks for the info.

Roger

Hi Roger,

 

First, check if the devices using USB3 are backward compatible with USB2.

 

However, in an ideal world, if it’s a desktop, and you have a free expansion 
slot, the best option is to go for a USB3 expansion card with 3 or even 4 USB3 
ports.  They are not arm and a leg money.

 

George.

Hi All

 

more and more of the commercial posts I receive are pushing USB 3.0 goods. I’m 
aware that I need to have some form of conversion on my computer to use these 
(well I think I do) but what is it I need? A simple plug in adaptor or 
something more complex such as a wired in unit in my tower? Also is it really 
necessary to change?

 

Many thanks 

 

Roger
