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.

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
