Imation - USB 2.0, Speedy Plug and Play Standard

Got USB 2.0 yet? This new standard takes the plug-and-play convenience of the original USB 1.1 standard and 'super-sizes' the data transfer rate.

How fast is USB 2.0? Under this standard, devices can achieve a maximum data transfer rate between PC and device of up to 60MB per second — that's 40 times faster than USB 1.1. That's transferring a full-length CD in 12 seconds! The main limiting factor on a USB 2.0 device's speed is the data being transferred — not all devices or memory cards can support the blazing speed of USB 2.0.

Another good thing about USB 2.0 is its backwards compatibility with USB 1.1. So if your computer doesn't have USB 2.0, not to worry — you can still plug a USB 2.0 device in, and it will work (just a bit slower!).

Look for USB 2.0 in the new Imation USB 2.0 Flash Drive.
