    I was wondering if I can plug an external dvd writer with USB 2.0 cor into an older computer that has a 1.0 port. Will this cause problems

    just speeds.. it will run very slow.. usb 1 is 12mbs where 2 is 480mbs or there abouts.. so your burner will run very slow.. prolly 1xish

    nope - no problems ..


    USB 2 is forty times faster than USB 1 also --


    USB sucks for dvd burning and capturing anyway ... 1 or 2

    Hello,

    Exactly. Usb 2.0 is BACKWARDS compatible with USB 1.0. The barrier - SPEED. It'll work but not as fast as a 2.0

    If it's your burner AND your computer, you're wasting performance using USB 1.1. The cheapest route to better performance is to install a USB2 card in the older PC. If it has PCI slots (anything with USB SHOULD), you can pick up a card for $30 at Staples.

    With what Flaystus said, you can also get the cards that have both USB 2.0 and Firewire.
