Don’t plug these 4 devices into the wrong USB port
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
A recurring complaint with USB is that the "universal" part of the acronym has never been true. Almost since the format's beginning, there have been multiple connector types, and even now many devices are split between USB-Aand USB-C. Once you've identified the right connector type for whatever it is you're doing, you then have to play the game of figuring out what data speeds a port can handle, as well as power capacity. Sometimes device makers are generous and take the time to label things, but too often you're expected to look up specifications in a manual or on the web.
