About USB 2.0 Performance
For your XHub2 and USB 2.0 devices to operate at USB 2.0
speeds, the XHub2 must be connected to a USB 2.0 port,
and USB 2.0 drivers with hub support must be installed on
your computer.
If your computer does not have a built-in USB 2.0 port,
Adaptec recommends connecting your XHub2 to an
Adaptec USB 2.0 adapter for the highest-quality USB 2.0
connection.
Note: USB 1.1 devices won’t operate at USB 2.0 speeds,
even if they’re connected to a USB 2.0 hub or adapter.
