Although not directly a Linux question...

I've got a laptop that is older and is USB v1 compatible. I want to purchase an external CD-RW drive. All the drives I see for sale are USB v2.

My concern: the USB v2 data transfer speeds are much greater. Will I run into buffer under run issues by using a USB v2 drive with a USB v1 laptop? Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA,

Brad.
