OS X USB 2.0 detection

[lonerider]

Is there a way to determine if OS X is seeing a USB device as USB 1.x vs 2.0? I have an external 120GB hard drive and DVD/RW that seem to pseudo-randomly go from 1.x to 2.x when I plug them in.

you can use system profiler, its in the utilities folder, or you can click the apple menu, and click about this mac, in the window that some up, click more info, thatll open system profiler.in system profiler, look under hardware>usb.

Thanks, I was able to find that it's seeing my USB hubs as 1.0 hubs (12Mb/s) instead of 2.0 (400 Mb/s). It seems to only see my drives as 2.0 when I don't use the hubs -/
