usb... 1.0?
what type of system are you using?
yeah you know how they got different speeds the usb1.0 is slow and white then idk abt 2.0 and 3.0 is superspeed and is blue
windows 11
i don't think PCs have been manufactured with USB 1.0 in like 20 years
USB 2.0 is the most common "slow" one
this is likely a hardware issue with whatever USB to SATA adapter you're using
nah but i have a usb 1.0 cable here
it has that white line in it
but its just the cable thats 1.0 i think
its like this old little silver casing to put the disk in
and then it has a weird port
and on the other end it has a usb 1.0 port
USB 1.0 and 2.0 cables are the same
and im not even sure this is related to the pc seeing it wrong
im just guessing
it's probably not, USB is digital
if it recognizes it at all it's not a cable or port problem
yeah but it's not gonna be able to get the full ssd speed if the usb is too slow no?
but like i said, USB 1.0 is a very dead technology and the cables use the same wiring as USB 2.0
so 2.0 should be good?
the colors are not a hard indication of support
but blue is always 3.0 right?
not always
when is it not
when they make them a different color
there's no law that says you have to color USB ports any particular way
USB 3 ports will be labeled "SS" and physically have more wires if you look inside the port
back to USB 2, it's limited to 60MB/s so no you will not get the full SSD speed
what exactly do you mean by it appears as a HDD and not a SSD
