But in today's world of computing, USB 1.1 is fast becoming an outdated standard with more and more devices and peripherals made for its newer and faster USB 2.0. Motherboards are pouring in with USB 2.0 support as a default, and peripherals are not lacking either. Some time back, we saw Iomega releasing its Panther into the streets with writing speeds at 16x. Today, Iomega is back once again with the Predator, with writing speeds at 24x. Called the Predator 2, the new drive is backward compatible with older USB 1.1 ports, so you don't have to worry about using your drive on systems without the USB 2.0 port. However, since USB 1.1 has a narrow bandwidth, you should note that your writing speed will be limited to only 4x.
