You know what really grinds my gears? 3.0 USB tech has been around for years and yet I never see anything with 3.0 ports or plugs aside from high end PC's and some USB storage or transfer options. 360's don't have them, as far as I know neither the Xbox One or PS4 have any, & now the latest Raspberry PI; the model 3, doesn't have one. What gives?! _________________________________________________________ 320GB ST3320620A 7200RPM 16MB Cache

All of my gear supports USB 3.0 but all of my stuff is expensive as hell, so yeh i see what you mean..
So could 2.0's be swapped with 3.0's with modding the power supply or adding an auxiliary PCB, like for instance in a 360 or Raspberry Pi, or is there more to it for full performance? _________________________________________________________ 320GB ST3320620A 7200RPM 16MB Cache
