USB 2.0 can handle 480 Mbps and 3.0 can reach 5 Gbps.īut what about response speed? Are there any published studies of response time between USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports? USB 1.0 runs at 1.5 Mbps (slow) or 12 Mbps (fast). Mice worked fine over a serial port, and those transfer at a maximum of 112.5 Kbps. Intuitively, I do not think data throughput should be an issue. I am certainly not the only one to think that. I flippantly replied that it would make no difference at all. A friend asked me the other day if he would benefit from plugging his mouse into a USB 3.0 port instead of an available 2.0 port. I am looking for an authoritative answer backed by data.

or perhaps a Card Reader with USB Ports for a 5' Bay. there are 2 USB2 connectors for the Front Panel USB or an Add-on Port though (no#12 in the manual layout page) but I guess they didn't supply one? you could add a PCIe USB card too though for more ports. Took a quick look and you are right, the IO plane doesn't have USB2.1st time I have seen that. The Prime Z270-A ? strange.most MB's still have both and some USB 3.1 too. It has 4 x USB 3.0 and 1 x USB 3.1 (Type-A) and 1 x USB 3.1 (Type-C). My motherboard doesn't have USB 2 ports. Thanks for the quick response.answers to your questions:

Likewise, I tried another device in the port adjacent to the keyboard/mouse and it didn't cause freezing.ĭoes anyone know why the certain configuration of hub plugged in next to keyboard/mouse causes it to freeze when an external drive is plugged into the hub? When I have the keyboard and mouse adapter and Hub plugged in on different rows, everything works find.drives plugged in don't freeze anything. My mothernoard (Asus Z270-A) has 2 rows of 2 USB 3.0-A each. Then the mouse and keyboard freeze until the drive is unplugged. When both are installed and active, no issues until I plug in an external USB hard drive. I'm not sure if I installed USB devices in same places they were at previous home but, regardless, I've encountered an issue with a Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse USB combo when my Anker 7-port USB 3 hub is installed in the adjacent port. I just moved and set up my computer in the new home. I'm not sure what the issue is.just started now.but I may just have noticed it now:
