On Windows 7, USB 3.0 seems to be hit or miss with hardware. Thoughts?It's possible you're still seeing manufacturers do USB 2.0 right now because USB 3.0 is only officially supported (as far as OS integration goes) on Windows 8 (and the newer Macs). Is the Firewire connection actually faster on AD/DA units - thinking the difference between the Focusrite Pro 40 and their new Scarlett that is identical except for its being USB 2? If USB 2 is shared by everything on the board, is it better to get a firewire device for AD/DA ? does it then draw power from other source and leave your USB connections happy? Is there any inherent benefit to using USB over Firewire or PCI (besides the fact that it seems nobody is making PCI-connected soundcards anymore)?
I'm about to buy a new AD/DA and have been comfortably chubby and happy with an old Echo Layla 24/96 PCI- connected card. There are wireless USB "extenders" too that can make the distance even further.3) Firewire is becoming obsolete (according to TigerDirect)Ĥ) companies that had firewire interfaces are now releasing products that are similar to their firewire products, but for USB 2, NOT USB 3. I suppose they could make them even longer and it'd still work. Sgbaird - How long can a USB cable be? The longest USB cable I've seen sold is 16 feet. Is there a way to get around this without buying a new computer? I assume according to your article here that my computer must have the older USB 1.1 (?). I have a 2003 Sony Vaio desk top and need to use USB 2.0 to run a new video capturing device (Easy Cap). Question: Does a usb CABLE have to be usb 2.0 compliant in order to make use of the benefits of usb 2.0 in peripheral usb 2.0 devices? Or, are usb cables all the same? If I buy a computer that has 3.0 USB ports will my external hard drive work connected to these ports. I have an external Seagate Hard Drive connected to a USB 2.0 port. My computer has an old style usb port and I need a 2.0 port.
