USB 3.0 Port on HP Dv7 - Four Port 3.0 or 2.0 Decision?
I have a functional USB 3.0 port on my pc. It is connected to a 2T WD MyBook. Moves GB's at lightning speed.
1)Would like to get 4 port 3.0 external hub to plug into one of the 4 pc ports.
2)However - given the price difference, could get by with a 2.0 now, since the 2T drive provides my need for speed.
3)So big question is: Since most devices including my pile of FD's are still 2.0 (I'm assuming a 2.0 device will run at 2.0 speed when connected to a 3.0 device), and "3.0 4 ports" are a bit pricey, should i just get a 2.0 4 port and enjoy the leisurely pace for a while?
Would appreciate your thoughts and comments. ~(:>()
