Fortunately, new PCs and new storage devices are becoming USB 3 compliant. Where you may have to be careful is when you are considering buying a storage device that is on sale, because it may be a closeout, and may be USB 2. My PC at work is so old that half of the USB ports are only USB 1.

When you plug in to a USB 2 port, it tells you it can run faster in a USB 3 port. When plugging it into a USB 3 port, it says nothing.
