When comparing 2.0 and 3.0 there are a few major differences. First the transfer rates: USB 2.0 offers transfer rates of 480 Mbps and USB 3.0 offers transfer rates of 4.8 Gbps - that's 10 times faster. Note that the transfer speeds also depend on the device in use in addition to the bus type and USB ports and cables.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB 3.0 ports are faster than the older USB 2.0 ports but are backward compatible to the 2.0 format. You can plug the keyboard and mouse into the USB 2.0 ports, saving the faster 3.0 ports for USB 3.0 ready devices like Flash Drives or other external peripherals.
