Radioactive Frog 0 Posted September 1, 2003 ok i am looking at buying a usb 2.0 drive for my pc to backup onto. I also want to connect it to my laptop which has usb 1.1! Will the usb 2.0 device still work on the 1.1? obviously if it does it will only be at 1.1 speed but that is fine ! Thanks RF Share this post Link to post
Tomay 0 Posted September 1, 2003 Usb 2.0 devices should be backward compatible, but check before you buy. Share this post Link to post
Radioactive Frog 0 Posted September 1, 2003 does anyone know for sure? RF Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted September 1, 2003 What Tomay was getting at is that most USB2.0 devices will be backwards compatible with USB1.1, but you should make sure with the particular device before you buy it... Share this post Link to post
