What is high-speed USB suppose to be? No speed just for charging?
It's USB2, so either for charging or simpler devices that don't need USB3 (Like keyboards).
Edit: Federation issue? I swear there wasn't an existing reply when I responded.
Thanks!
From what I recall high-speed USB was USB 2.0, mostly that is used today for stuff like mice or keyboards where speed isn't really all that relevant.
High-speed is actually low-speed, got it
Well, USB 2.0 did 480 MBit/s IIRC compared to USB 1.0 1.5 MBit/s and 1.1 12 MBit/s
Jeez they still fell short there. Why can't they just go through the whole thing mark every other speed.
Ibf it was high-speed at the time, we've just surprised it since... Super-duper speed.
Yeah, 480 Mbit/s really felt lightning fast at the time, especially considering where we came from with USB 1.0.
