DIFFERENCE or COMPARISON BETWEEN USB1.1 AND USB2.0

What is the difference between USB1.1 and USB2.0? Which should I choose?

USB1.1 and USB2.0 refers to which USB version the drives are designed for. The transfer speeds of USB2.0 is up to 8 times faster than USB1.1, but o­nly PCs with USB2.0 ports will benifit from the faster transfer rates.

If your PC is equipped with USB1.1 ports and you have no plans to upgrade to a USB2.0 PC in the future then we recommend that you choose a USB1.1 drive. If your PC has a USB2.0 port or you plan to upgrade to a USB2.0 system soon, then we recommend the USB2.0 version.

USB1.1 drives can be used in USB2.0 systems, but will o­nly work at USB1.1 speeds. Equally USB2.0 drives can be used in USB1.1 system, but will also work at the speed of a USB1.1 drive.
