Hello
I have a pc which uses 2.0 usb.
I want a new external hard drive, with no adapters.
Can my pc work with a one with 3.0 if that's all I can find?
I think it will work at 2.0 speeds but am asking to be sure.
I know the upgrade would be better but I don't want to buy a new pc just for the usb .
Thank you
Peter
I also wonder if the opposite is true too, i.e., 3.0 pc and 2.0 external drive -work at 2.0 speed or not work at all?
I do not know if the connections are the same size and shape.
