Question about USB 3.0 on MBP

Question about USB 3.0 on MBP Posted on: 27.12.2013 by Marcelina Hanaway So I received 2 USB 3.0 flash drives for Christmas. I have a mid-2011 MBP. I don't have a USB 3.0 port. Is there any way to achieve the 3.0 transfer speed without buying a whole new computer?
Alphonso Deitchman 28.12.2013	Originally Posted by deevey Real world though its only around Twice as fast as USB2.0 drives My Sandisk USB 3.0 stick goes at ~ 180MB/sec (megabytes) for large files, which is over 5 times the maximum for USB 2.0 One way of adding USB 3.0 to a 2011 Macbook would be to buy a Thunderbolt dock, but they're quite expensive.
Rolanda Clodfelder 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by JBang The USB 2.0 technology has pretty much matured, so most devices at this point are going to have roughly the same transfer rates (~300 MB per second). Just stick with the major manufacturers and you can't go wrong. Not gonna lie, though, USB 3.0 is pretty sweet... about 4 GB per second Real world though its only around Twice as fast as USB2.0 drives
Hellen Mindrup 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by nudedudewithattitude It works, but the transfer rate is that of my other 2.0 flash drives. Not achieving the 3.0 speeds. R.I.P Won't work with older Mac

Cori Ozanich 27.12.2013	Nope. Your hard drive is still faster than USB2.0. Besides, using USB 3.0 drives with USB 2.0 ports doesn't really matter, at least you're maxing out the bandwidth of your USB controller (which isn't a bad thing).
Marcelina Hanaway 27.12.2013	If I swap out my regular hard drive for an SSD, will I see a speed increase in my transfers to 2.0 flash drives?

Hellen Mindrup 27.12.2013	I use some Sandisk ones that are decently quick
Marcelina Hanaway 27.12.2013	Can anyone recommend a fast (if that's even possible) 2.0 flash drive?

Maryam Fevold 27.12.2013	Unfortunately, that's the best you're gonna get. USB is backward-compatible, but not the other way around.
Meridith Betsinger 27.12.2013	not gonna happen ... it's a hardware limitation
