    Can I use a USB 2.0 harddrive enclosure with a USB 1.1 compliant motherboard?

    I have the Via Epia which I beleive is USB 1.1 and the harddrive enclosure I found is USB 2.0 - anyone know if these are all backwards compatible?

    Thanks

    yes they are backwards compatible.


    i think they also sell like pci adapters for usb 2.0 .. i know i was looking at one when i just bought a new usb2.0 printer.

    not sure what kinda slots you have on that board though.

    USB 1.1 is plenty fastenuff
    No need to worry at all
    All USB 2.0 is compliant with 1.1 (that I've seen)
    I mean.. 420Mbps is USB2... only use that for changine the music when plugged into your home PC.
