Non High Speed USB Hub?

I use USB (High Speed USB 2.o) Flash Drive. and plug into a 4-point USB Hub.

On plug -in, it shows that a High speed Pen drive has been plugged into a non high speed USB Hub.

It works, all the same but is it necessary for me to get another USB Hub(High speed 2.o) or, some other adjustment can solve this problem ?

    Not necessary, no. If you need faster transfers, it will certainly help, but if you're not dealing with massive files or massive quantities of files.. there's no reason to get a 2.0 hub if yours is working.

    Try plugging the pen drive directly into the USB port that you have the hub plugged into. IF you get the same message, it means the port in your computer is not a 2.0 but rather a 1.0 USB port. IF this is the case, the only solution, is to either live with the slower speed of the 1.0 connection, or purchase a USB 2.0 card to install in the machine. If it is a laptop, you will have to buy either a PCMCIA card or and Express card, depending on the options available to your machine. If it is a desktop, you will need either a PCI or a PCIe card, again depending on the options available on your machind, and depending on what if any expansion sockets you have on the motherboard.

    It will work but you need both a USB2.0 hub and a USB2.0 port on your pc to be able to use the full read/transfer speed.

    USB 2.0 has a maximum speed of 480 Mbit/s,

    USB 1.1 12 Mbit/s.

    You can add a USB2.0 PCI card on the pc,; for a laptop, a USB2.0 PCMCIA CardBus like this:
