Hi,

I am about to buy an Asus cdrw. It is USB2 but currenty I only have USB1 on my laptop. Most USB2 hardware seems to be backwards compatable but I cannot confirm this is the case with the Asus. Can anyone let me know if all USB2 devices work on USB1.

Thanks

Yes, but it will run a lot slower.

Thanks,

That's what I thought but just needed reassuring.

just like inso said, the usb1 will be the bottle neck
