USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)

2.0
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected in a
series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to
run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in sites or
hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected
without restarting the computer.
