USB speed confusion

Every time my external USB disk disconnects itself (like it did after a short power glitch on Wednesday), I have to google the kernel message to see if it remounted with USB 2.0 speed or the slower USB 1.1 speed. I just can’t seem to keep straight in my head whether “USB full speed” or “USB high speed” is the good one.

Note to self: it’s “USB high speed”.

I think.

    This is what happens when marketdroids give names to things.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

    Low Speed - 1.5Mbps
    Full Speed - 12 Mbps
    Hi-Speed (sic) - 480 Mbps

    Sounds like having to remember that the tall Starbucks coffee is the short one.
