Dunno what kind of camera you have, but the last camera I had, had images that were many megabytes in size and speed made a huge difference when transferring. If you transfer 1-2 pictures at a time no problem, but I transferred hundreds / huge movie files and it made a noticeable - 10x - difference when i upgraded to usb3. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
