This is a pretty miscellaneous and nit-picky question, but if anyone can test it out themselves and/or try offer an explanation, that would be great!
Basically I have noticed that it takes longer for windows to recognize USB 3.0 flash drives vs. USB 2.0 flash drives. For USB 2.0 flash drives, the recognition is immediate (as soon as I plug it into the port). With USB 3.0 drives, there's about a 6-second delay before the drive is recognized (explorer sound + visual).
I have tested this with four USB 2.0 drives and [unfortunately] only one USB 3.0 drive (so it COULD be just this particular USB 3.0 drive) on two separate computers, both running windows 7 SP1 with all the latest drivers and updates installed.
EDIT: oh and I forgot, hardware-wise, one the computers has only USB 2.0 ports, while the other computer has USB 3.0 ports (this is reason I tested both computers), but the above results hold true.
