Usb 2.0

Post by wvjohn »

anyone actually using this for anything, if so how

the only thing i've seen that looks useful is hooking up a big hd or a burner for backups

I use a 2.0 burner

24x10x40

The main reason I use a usb2.0 one is my case is a Lian Li PC30 with only 2 5.25 bays. One bay for my PC Gieger and one bay for the Lian Li front ports. Both are non negotiables in my case...I just can't get along without either one :)

Not to mention it's fun when people look at my case and dont see any optical drives :D

This burner is a tank....about a year old and I've burned probably close to 500 discs and it's still chugging. Not to mention I can use it on any system with usb (highly convenient) albeit only as a 4x on usb1.1

Just purchased a new camera.
Sony DSC-F717 it is a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera.
It has USB 2.0

Currently I do not have 2.0 on my computer but I plan on upgrading to 2.0 for this reason.
It sure would make transfers easier.

I got one of these to play around with. I want to transfer old home movies to DVD. It is way way better than the capture from my GF4. It has a hardware MPEG encoder chip in it.

I've been experimenting with regular 1.1 and 2.0 usb and the only thing I ever can tell any speed difference is when I upload pictures from my digital camera. I use a seperate usb reader for that and with usb 2.0 it is maybe half a second per pic quicker. Using just the included usb cord to upload on 2.0, the speed is the same as on usb 1.1.

Only thing else I've tried is a logitech mouse and a fan, with either on usb 2.0 or 1.1 I can't tell any difference. But with proper usb 2.0 compatable devices like a hard drive I do believe there will be a noticable difference, from what I've seen.
