USB 2.0 speed is still faster than almost any USB 2.0 stick on the market, so USB 3.0 sticks are still usually twice as fast even with 2.0 ports since they have faster memory and use the full potential. |
That's true for the most part. My USB stick that I'm using on the Wii U is USB 3.0 and has slow write speeds, is faster on read speeds, but is still probably a little faster than top USB 2.0 speeds for both. It is a cheaper USB 3.0 too.
I figure that read speeds are more important and if a game is constantly writing for saves that it's just going to wear down the USB stick that much faster (so I should be wary of games that do that.)
More expensive sticks are usually better for speeds, but I ended up buying my stick because it was the cheapest 32GB that I could buy from a local store at the time that had a 5 year warranty.
