USB 3.0 vs USB 2.0

For storage devices, USB 3.0 can provide significantly higher transfer speeds when both the host computer and connected storage device support USB 3.0.

Important Note

The total bandwidth of a USB hub is shared among connected devices. Connecting several high-speed storage devices simultaneously can therefore reduce the maximum transfer speed available to each device.

The available power is also shared between connected USB devices. High-power peripherals or multiple external drives may require additional power depending on the exact hub model and configuration.
