Without looking it up, I'm still pretty sure 3.0 would be faster than the drive anyway.

Hi,
No hdmi gold are indeed high speed and a lot better :) usb3 no telling like already said the speed will be in the hard drive in the enclosure mostly Pretty much why I never consider devises like you have because it comes with a hdd in it and can not be changed out I sort of stick with empty enclosures and add the hdd I want to use mostly 7200rpm hdd's. |

Going by my memory a hard drive can't saturate the speeds of USB 2.0 let along USB 3.0.
The read/wright speed of hard drives is to slow. I did a lot of research long time ago, when I was thinking on buying my first SSD. I just don't remember where I found all the data from my research. I gave all but one of my hard drives away a long time ago, after getting hooked on SSD's. |

Do USB 3.0 Connections Require USB 3.0 Cables? |
