Whenever I plug a usb storage device to my laptop (Sony VAIO PCG 8L2L), a tooltip appears, reading "This device can peform faster. Please connect it to a USB 2.0 port....blah blah blah".....Why am I getting this message, and how can I solve it?From where will I get a USB 2.0 card, I guess which might solve the problem? Is there any sofware which will help me optimise the speed of the USB port?

mines that way too for my laptop (toshiba) and i dont really care cuz im using a mouse for that port so really i dont need it any faster than it is cuz its "good" you know enough to work with. Its just some operating thing the system has, try another port if you have one on your laptop it might be a better one for it. I think it means that it wants a USB hub cuz it has more power from its electricty but its not that much of a difference so just ignore it and save your money. There might be a way to turn that tool tip off from the future if it really annoys you.

you can get a card from any good pc parts supplier which will plug into either pcmcia port of more recently pci express socket.http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=usb+card
