Yep, for the BiaB program, that's it in a nutshell

So really, usb 3 speed is more important if you're using it for copying or backing up large amounts of data.



Yes, BiaB has been designed to work very flexibly with computers that have a wide range of performance capabilities (processor speed, memory etc).

USB3 has higher transfer rates, but BiaB loads whatever it needs to get going before it starts playing.
