My experience with "mix and match" USB ports and devices caused a bit of problems. My external backup drive is in a USB-3 housing, and I connected it to one of my Dell tower's USB-3 port with a USB-3-rated cable. I experienced quite a number of failures to recognize the drive at backup time. After replacing both the drive disk and housing, the results were the same. When I moved the cable to one of the computer's USB-2 port, the problem went away. The upshot of all this is, to paraphrase an otherwise forgettable MIT professor of many decades ago "this USB not the same as that USB - I only did that to con-fuse you". I'll let Don and the rest of the experts here give more accurate answers. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
