[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1099841, member: 176704"] [USER=186250]@Topper[/USER] I have similar issues with the later m/c's and I believe that it is because their internal data buses for the installed RAM are faster than the buses that serve the USB ports - and that the problem is more likely to happen with "more modern" m/c's that have USB3 ports because their internal buses do run faster than much older ones with only USB2 ports. BTW: for many years (i.e. since 2013 when I bought my "main" laptop), I only ever bought m/c's with [I]at least [/I]4GB RAM and [I]at least[/I] 3 USB ports, of which at least one had to be UBS3 - unfortunately, many people have since bought "shiney" new m/c's with only 2GB, and sometimes not even USB3 ports, because they were not aware of the "built-in obsolescence" that came with those.
