will using the c adaptor transfer the files faster than if I would not use the c adaptor?
Answered by InsigniaCustomerSupportUSB-C supports various versions (USB 2.0, USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc.), each with different maximum speeds. For instance, USB 2.0 has a maximum speed of 480 Mbps, while USB 3.0 can transfer data at up to 5 Gbps, USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gbps, and USB 3.2 even higher. If your adapter and devices support a faster USB version, then using a USB-C adapter for file transfer could indeed speed things up. USB-C adapter can potentially increase transfer speeds, especially if both connected devices support high-speed USB standards. However, the actual transfer speed will depend on the combination of these factors. - Ed | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285
