[QUOTE="krs, post: 1837664, member: 67742"] The point I was trying to make was - How would a non-technical person know that. The designation in the image just says "USB 3" - to me that means USB 3.0 and USB 3.1, not necessarily USB 2.0 and USB 1 as well. What makes things worse is that there are some USB 3.0 Flash drives that work in USB 2.0 ports and other USB 3.0 drives that only work in USB 3.0 ports. They all plug in, but they don't necessarily work. Non-compliant cables are a whole other can of worms - I don't want to even bring those into the conversation. But if I remember right, there are also USB-C cables and ports (?) that are designed to only deliver power, no high speed date Assuming one kept it and can still find it. Or the manufacturer had the foresight to offer a pdf version on line. If things were that straight forward, there wouldn't be half the connectivity questions in this forum. [/QUOTE]
