Guest Don Culp Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 How can I determine if my computer's USB ports are version 1 or 2. (The reason I'm asking is that copying files to a USB drive seems very slow so I suspect that the ports may be version 1.) Thanks, Don Culp

If you do not see that, you have USB-1 BTW: some machines have both USB1 and USB 2 ports... which obviously can require a bit of trial and error to sort out. If you need to add USB-2 the add-on PCI cards are quite inexpensive...so it's usually not a big deal to upgrade.
