USB 3.1 External Drive Speed
« on: February 28, 2020, 09:45:06 AM »
Hi All

Does anyone know what the speed of the USB Port is on a Buffalo LS210D?  I am looking to put an external USB drive on the box and wanted to know if it was worth getting a USB3 drive or is the generation it uses USB 2?  Also, would it be quicker if it were an SSD based USB drive or is the 'bottleneck' down to the Buffalo i/o?

TIA

That port is USB 2.0, not USB 3.

Thanks Texturtle, expected it might be.  USB 3 would have been nice :)  Cheers
