Hi, I would like to ask the same question folks have asked before but, my Manufacturer HP incorrectly lists the specs so I cannot go to their website and just look it up. As you can see the description below directly contradicts itself. It says 3.1 Gen 2 but 5GB/s. Lifted directly from the...

How can you tell if a port is USB 3.1 Gen 1 or 3.1 Gen 2? I know that 3.1 Gen 1 (=3.0) ports are blue. So, are Gen 2 ports/cables also blue? The full story: I have a new ASUS H370 Mobo that has colored the Gen 2 ports a lighter blue, like a teal. I have never seen this before and can find...

Hi All, So I have an HP Elitebook 8460p with the 642754-001 motherboard. The AMD chip has packed it in and it occurred to me that if I was going to buy another motherboard would it be an easy swap to install the 670123-001 motherboard instead and get USB3 functionality. Price of the boards seems...

Your MacBook Pro can be the ultimate multimedia device. It’s got all the specifications, including a gorgeous display. Just connect to a few dongles, and you are set to go. Although the MacBook Pro does not come with USB 3.0 hubs anymore, you can use various adapters. They are easily available...

Gone are the days when you could simply connect your favourite keyboard or external drive straight onto your MacBook Pro. Apple has even gone as far as removing the usual USB 3.0 hubs from the MacBook Pro altogether. But, most devices out there still run on USB 3.0. So, how do you connect them...

I recently picked up an Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop and I would like to use it for showing off VR to friends and family without them having to come to my house. It's advertised as "VR Ready" by Acer, and as far as the specs are concerned it should do all right with most titles. The...

Hi, When I plugged the data cable into any USB3 port my FinePix S5500 is starting to turn off and on continuously. Sometimes, when idle, it stops switching power off-on for seconds but when I try to copy, scan, whatever drive task it just turns off then at the same time it's turning back on...

I have a USB 2.0 external HDD and it won't work in USB 3.0. I have all the drivers, and the HDD works just fine when plugged in to USB 2.0. So that lie about being backwards compatible is a lie. Don't bother saying it isn't a lie because I have physical proof that it is a lie. Only helpful...

Hello, if a Windows laptop has 1 or 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, what does that mean? Is USB 3.1 Gen 1 the kind of port that is compatible with most usb devices (e.g. memory thumb stick, storage, etc) that we have been using for many years before laptops with dongle era started taking place?

I have a display that only accepts usb 3.0 input. I want to use it as wall mounted display and stream or cast to it. I can't find anything that converts HDMI to USB 3.0 (I don't think I can anyway). I see lots of HDMI/USB adapters but they seem to imply a direction i.e usb to hdmi not vice...

Hi This is what I am seeing when I insert USB into system with Windows 10 Pro. It's there but I can't open it. I have seen and tried some solutions on web but nothing works. Tried updating drivers, changing ports, renaming disk, plugging it in mac (appeared for a few times now not being shown...

Since I have only 1 HDMI port am I limited to only 1 external monitor? I have a Type-C port but I have not been able to determine if it supports display output. My laptop does not have any VGA, Display Ports, or Mini Display Ports. Could I tell by checking device manager? The specs I have for...

I have read quite a few threads now but all of the information seems dated around ~2012. I am not asking for convenience but my laptop's internal sata connection for the HDD is broken and the laptop is outside warranty. The laptop is quite high spec so I would prefer not to replace it. Anyway...
