“What is the 2.0 vs 3.0 mean?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• 2.0 = 480Mb/s (Megabits per second) transfer speed... 3.0 = 4.8Gb/s (Gigabits per second) transfer speed. So... USB 3.0 is 10X faster

• 2.0 means USB 2.0 configuration and 3.0 means USB 3.0 configuration. If your desktop or laptop computer has 3.0 configuration, then you can enjoy much faster writing and reading speed. If your computer does not have 3.0 configuration, you can still use the 3.0 flash drive but with relatively slower writing/reading speed.

• USB 2.0 is the older standard for USB devices. The new standard, 3.0 is faster and uses different plugs in many cases. If your device does not specify 3.0, then USB 2.0 is probably what you want.

• A 3.0 USB drive is a newer and faster USB. The USB 3.0 drives are backwards compatible with 2.0.
