Hp Usb 2.0 3.0 Flash Drive

A very good USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Works well, but it is slower than a 3.0 Flash Drive. The price makes this an okay item.

This Flash Drive is very fast as it of 3.0 speed type and takes advantage of USB 3.0 vs. 2.0. Works with either though. Small in size. I take advantage of this and keep it always plugged into my laptop for additional storage. I use it for holding archives of files I moved off of my SSD drive that I have backed up and then keep them available for immediate reference. I have not had any issues and I use it daily for the last two months.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

This USB drive will not work with any of my USB ports except the USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 is out of the question, it disconnects sporadically and can lose or not write data. Using a 3.0 port it works well, with sufficient read and write speeds. Lots of storage here!

Small and fast and an excellent value for anyone needing an external drive. Usb 2.0 or 3.0 and performs well on either. Just ordered another, and will continue to use this brand and size for any more expansion of my computer. I use it to install information intensive programs on (photoshop and photos) and the second one was bought solely for backup of my complete system. No problems after 2 weeks...runs cool and reliable..

This device works very well. I think the Elements SE is of higher quality over the Essential Product line. I like that it does not have auto back up installed. The USB cable is 1.1/2.0 on one end and 3.0 on the drive connection end. 3.0 cable does not come with drive. Peripheral 3.0 USB cards are available, and the speed difference over 2.0 is amazing. Can't wait to get a peripheral card.

I was outgrowing my 1 TB external single drives, and it was about time to separate my work projects from my personal. The item arrived quickly, and sported the lovely new electronic smell. Install was a breeze; as I don't have the need for RAID at the moment, I converted the drives quickly to be independent of each other, with one drive making multiple backups of the other. My system doesn't support USB 3.0, so I can't comment on the speed. But I can say USB 2.0 speeds are similar to other external drives, averaging around 20-25 MB/sec, according to the disc tests I ran. 4 months later the drive bay still runs like a charm. It is very quiet, located about 4 feet away from ear shot, and can only be heard when booting up the desktop as the drives spin up. This won't win you any awards for speed if you're doing heavy video processing. For now, it serves my purpose as a drive for my photography business, but I fear as the cameras keep increasing in MP sizes, I may need to update the desktop to either USB 3.0 or something similar, as USB 2.0 is starting to show its age (rendering full size previews of thousands of images can take a long time)!

This external hard drive is fantastic. It is compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0. It is very fast compared to the USB flash drives we have been using in the computer labs. I would purchase more like these as my budget allows.

I have an HP laptop with 2 USB 3.0 ports and 2 Thunderbolt ports. I have 2 Western digital drives attached to my USB ports and wanted to use a third USB 3.0 drive to perform backups without having to use a USB hub. This works perfectly and has allowed me to attach my USB 3.0 backup drive as needed to the Thunderbolt port and it powers the drive fine with all drive functionality working. I also use it to attach my Sony XQD card reader to import photos and that works great too! Can’t beat this for the price and it has a small footprint so I just always leave it attached.

I was able to combine several smaller usb's onto this 128GB, very convenient. My computer only has 2.0 flash and this drive works well.
