USB recommendations for Diversion / Skynet?

[Tech9]

The result will perhaps vary from router to router and from one USB drive to another. Test your 2.4GHz band and see if USB 3.0 mode on your router and drive affects the performance in some way. If you have IoT devices around the edges of the Wi-Fi covered area they may start losing connection.

Question:

If we use a SSD/Enclosure connected by USB cable … is it still advisable that we use the USB port in USB 2.0 mode only, or is it OKAY to go ahead and use USB 3.0 (?)

I have used USB 3.0 drive/port connected with cable for years without issue.

Unless you're using it for file shares (Samba, NFS, etc) - I would do the USB2.0

USB3 can interfere with 2.4GHz - B/G/N/AX obviously, but it also can do a hit on bluetooth as the interference on USB3 is broadband across the entire band - and these days, BT isn't just audio, it's all the keyboards, mice, etc..

While I somewhat agree with you, the biggest issue with USB3.0 is when it comes to using products with little to no shielded being close to the impacted wireless sources. If the user purchases anything of actual quality these days, I find the interference to be minimal to none at all.
