Philips Usb 2.0 Flash Drive 16Gb

[0.02 lb] 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.

[0.055 lb] 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.

[Dual Channel] Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

[2 x 4 TB HDDs] 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)!

[Bus Powered] This is my second WD Elements SE 1TB drive. I have them both hooked up to a WDTV Live, which I use as a simple NAS and media player. They are very reliable and quiet. Even though I only have USB 2.0 ports on all my computers, the USB 3.0 interface in the WD Elements does seem to allow for slightly faster transfers than a standard 2.0 external drive. I also like the matte black finish better than the shiney finish on the comparable Seagate drives from a cleaning and aesthetics standpoint.

[64 GB] 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!

[1x 2.5" SATA] I ripped an old 1TB hard drive out of an old USB 2.0 enclosure. It was easy to install it into this enclosure. It used small phillips screws. Having a set of small screwdrivers made it a simple installation.

[7 x 4.95 x 1"] Have used this hard drive just a couple times to back up two (USB 2.0) family laptops. So far, so good. The drive is amazingly compact, USB powered, extremely quiet and cool-running. USB 3.0 capability will come in handy when I replace daughter's machine in the near future. If the drive proves reliable, I'm a happy camper.

[128 GB] Works good on 2.0 usb.
