Most flash drives still use the older, rectangular USB Type-A plug. The physical USB connector on the end of a flash drive is another thing to consider. What is clear is that no matter what USB 3.x label your chosen flash drive has, it'll be backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports on older computers, though speed will be limited to under 60MB/s (for this reason, don't even consider cheaping-out on a USB 2.0 flash drive - it just isn't worth it when transfer speeds will be so achingly slow). Yup, we're just as confused by that as you. The original USB 3.0 standard has been re-numbered twice over the years, yet nothing technical changed. Some manufacturers may advertise their drives as USB 3.1, or USB 3.0, but it's all the same speed. USB flash drives almost always use the USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB connection speed, which at 625 megabytes per second is fast enough to let even the fastest USB flash drives run at max speed.
