My gamer pc has USB 3.2 Gen 1 type A ports! Can an ssd external drive w/ 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C or USB 3.2 Gen 2 be compatible with my pc?
Asked by: Jorge
Yes, you can use a drive like the LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD BH #LASTHR100080 using an adapter but the speeds will only go up to Gen 1 speeds (5Gbps) so you will lose performance. If you have a desktop PC and an open PCie slot, you can install a PCie card with Gen 2 USB C and then be able to use the drive to it's full potential. This is a good option for the PCIe card if you are interested in exploring that option and have an available PCie slot on your Computer.

Is this drive ideal for photo processing,for example, while using Lightroom, or is it somehow optimized for video use?
Asked by: Anonymous
This drive is universal in that sense, as it is ideal for any of the use cases you described, it is not optimized or weighted in any one direction. In essence it doesn't know the difference what kind of files you put on it. It is simply a storage conduit.
