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
