USB 2.0 drivers are software programs that allow your computer to interact with your hardware devices. Without the proper drivers, the system will default to older, slower transfer speeds. The USB (Universal Bus Driver) is a connection between a host computer and a number of peripheral devices. The USB drivers for a host system control the USB devices that are plugged into it and the USB drivers in a device control how that single device looks to the host computer as a USB device. If a device follows the USB standard, a special driver for that device is not necessary. A successful USB 2.0 connection requires a USB 2.0 host controller card, a USB 2.0 driver and a USB 2.0 peripheral. USB 2.0 technology allows for the easy connection of devices like,,,, and mice to a computer.
