I found a memory stick i really want, found here. However, i found a cheaper one for roughly £11. I am wondering if you guys can find the cheapest one possible. 16Gb+ is preferred.

um. cant you just plug a 3.0 into a 2.0 slot? it will just run as a 2.0.
i mean the ports are the exact same

what you found on ebay is just an adaptor for extending cords or something. it dosnt convert anything. not that USB even needs converting.

What?

2.0 USB is backwards compatible with 3.0 and vice versa.
The only down-side is if you put a USB 3.0 on USB 2.0 you won't get the speed of USB 3.0.

Also the only difference between 3.0 and 2.0 USB ports are speeds. They are physically the same.
