USB 2.0
USB 2.0 offers transfer rates 40 times faster than the older USB 1.x, running at up to 480 Mbps compared to USB 1.x's 12 Mbps. All USB 2.0 Hi-Speed products are fully backward compatible with existing USB 1.x devices and offers the same user friendly features as USB 1.x, such as being hot-pluggable (connect/disconnect devices without restarting system), and the ability to connect up to 127 devices.
USB 2.0's high-speed data transfer rates lends itself perfectly to the growing demand of high-speed/increased bandwidth products available today, such as digital video and still cameras, external disk drives, scanners, audio devices, etc.
