I have been using the feature Audio link to Multipads for a while, and if you are like me, that use this feature, I recommend you MUST use USB drives 3.0, not just for the Audio Link Multipads, but, also had experience while recording AUDIO.....in real time, some of the USB 2.0 will stop while recording since the Audio recording requires more speed in writing data, so, if you are going to be recording Audio, and or using Audio Multipads, the USB 3.0 is the one.
