    Re: usb

    Your USB connections will all be the same speed. Older machines will be USB1, later ones USB2. If you do have an older machine, you can buy a card to fit inside which will give you USB2 functionality.

    Alternatively, you could buy a router and connect to that via a LAN connectioon (if your computer has one) which will probably give you more reliable performance.
