kumarkumar Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I have some USB flash drives and USB hard drives. They are un-named un-branded ones.Is there a way to know if they are USB 1.1 or 2.0, etc? Edited April 14, 2008 by kumarkumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 When you plug a 1.1 device into a 2.0 port, it will give you a message on the screen saying the device can perform faster. Other than that, there really isn't another way that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumarkumar Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I thought you get that balloon message when you plug in a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.1 port in the computer.Is it true the other way around too? (i.e. a USB 1.1 device plugged to a USB 2.0 port) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah, you have it right. Plugging a 2.0 device into a 1.1 port will give you the balloon message. Plugging a 1.1 device into a 2.0 port doesn't give you any message at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
