One other benefit of USB is plug and play. That is, when you plug the USB device in, it is automatically detected, drivers installed and then ready for operation

USB 2.0 supports data transfer at up to 480Mbps for high-speed devices. It is backward compatible with USB1.1*2 software and peripherals. If your computer doesn’t have a built-in USB 2.0 port, you need to install a USB 2.0 PCI host card in your pc for the CD-RW drive to run at USB 2.O speed. Otherwise, this CD-RW drive will run at standard USB speed.

*1 You can connect and disconnect devices while the computer is running.

*2 USB 1.1 can transfer data at rates up to 12Mb/s.
