My computer has 3.0 ports. I would like to get something that will transfer faster, like 3.1 or preferably 3.2.
My investigation so far revealed that I can't update ports and/or software, the USB connection are baked into the motherboard. However, it does appear that I can get a USB 3.2 card and install it in a slot.
My question is, what will be the deciding factor as to whether it's worth it or not? Processor? DRAM? What should I look at to make the decision? Even if I don't get full performance, I can get a card for $50 +/-. That would be worth even a 50% improvement.
I'm at work and will check when I get home, but I believe I have one slot left. I am running 36G (I think, seems I recall installing a 24 and a 12) of DRAM. Hard drive is a disc, not an SSD. Cannot recall the processor.
Any thoughts or pointers?
