. What is USB .0?
USB 2.0 represents the next generation of PC peripherals and connectivity.
USB 2.0 is the first major evolution of the Universal Serial Bus standard, which
was originally designed to bring low cost connections and "plug-and-play"
consumer devices to the PC world. USB 2.0 adds new functionality to your
laptop, by allowing faster connections and greater flexibility without the need
for upgrading your existing USB devices.
. Why USB .0?
Modern PC peripherals can run faster and do more than the original USB
designers ever dreamed. The USB standard was upgraded to keep pace with
the rapid advances in technology, and the explosion of new consumer devices.
USB 2.0 host controllers add the faster speeds and greater flexibility than
these new devices require. USB 2.0 will allow your computer to connect to the
newest USB devices: High-Speed Video and Ethernet, ultra-fast scanners and
disk drives, etc.
. How much faster is USB .0?
USB 1.1 devices can communicate at about 12 Megabits/sec. USB 2.0 devices
can communicate at speeds of up to 480 Megabits/sec.
. The EZ Upgrade power LED is on, but the drive is not automatically
detected by the operating system.
The mass storage device drivers are not installed correctly or there is a
resource conflict in the system. Use the Windows Add New Hardware Wizard
to detect the drive, or, if the drive has already been installed, use the Windows
Update Device Driver Wizard. Be sure that there are no resource conflicts in
the Windows Device Manager before installing the drive.
