If you're VI, then you wouldn't, not by the shape of it, anyway. USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2, the only way you'd know the difference is by the fact that a USB 3 port is blue. As I say, probably not much help to you!

Also under £30 for a two port one.

Doubtless there are cheaper ones elsewhere, and I’ve no doubt prices will come down as they become more popular.

LOL Many thanks for the info.

They are not arm and a leg money.

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 orsomething more complex such as a wired in unit in my tower? Also is it really necessary to change?
