when you have some special equipment that needs it.
keep in mind that USB2 is already overkill for external HDDs. and USB3 become overkill for SSDs. technically, you won't ever need usb3.1.
- DiabloD3 11y agoUSB2 maxes out at 60MB/sec. I cannot remember when I had a drive that was so slow, I think I'd have to go back to single or double digit gigabytes. In comparison, modern HDDs exceed 150mb/sec on writes, more on reads.
- gcb0 11y agoplease, do connect a budget external HDD on USB3/firewire/esata/or even sata directly. the best i got here was 63Mb/s here. extenal HDDs usually have 5400RPM laptop drives. with one plater/head.
- DiabloD3 11y agoExcept I have an external drive that is a 5400RPM 3.5" drive, a Samsung Spinpoint (the last generation before Seagate bought the unit from Samsung), and it does at least 120MBps sequential writes.
